The First ad campaign of Amul

The logo of Amul has always been the wordmark. The company is using it since its establishment although the slogans have been changed. The current slogan was adopted in 1994 when Amul hired a new advertising agency. It was the Mumbai based “Advertising and Sales Promotion (ASP)” and Shri Kanon Krishna designed the new logo and slogan touching every aspect of the brand.

The logo of “Amul” is the wordmark written in white colour on a red background. The slogan “The Taste of India” is placed under the wordmark. The meaning of the slogan, according to Amul is that it will always supply quality food and product to rural India.
