Couple of weeks ago, I blogged about the new identity of STC, here is the TVC. The funny thing is that the new identity is the same of an Indonesian telco that STC acquired, pretty stupid, and what I found so weird, is that each company owned by STC has a different name than the others, I mean why don’t they do like Zain, and launch one identity for the entire group.
