Maa TV launches refreshed channel look, logo and positioning as Star Maa
MAA TV, a Star India portfolio channel, recently announced its new brand position and refresh along with a dynamic new logo, brand tagline and channel pneumonic theme track in Hyderabad.
Megastar Chiranjeevi, the Chief Guest, unveiled the new logo and the brand tagline. Maa TV now becomes Star Maa. The logo’s new identity is a striking red with the intrinsically bold Maa written under it. The color red symbolises prosperity, optimism, celebration, desire, purity, passion, love and holiness. The logo reflects two very powerful brands and promises a strong collaboration.
Another highlight was when Star Maa’s main leads came onstage dressed in their fiction show characters along with Megastar Chiranjeevi to jointly announce the new tagline of the channel… “Ade Bandham … Sarikotta Uttejam” (Same bonding … New inspiration).
Star Maa has aggressive and forward-looking plans of growth and expansion. It has plans to consolidate its position in the Telugu market and achieve dominant thought, content and image leadership.
Leveraging the big brand refresh, Star Maa is also launching MEK tonight at 9.30 PM with Chiranjeevi as the host. Another non-fiction comedy show, Desamudurlu, is being launched on February 17 at 9.30 PM. These two shows will be a great addition to the recently launched four promising and popular prime time fiction shows --- Koyilamma, Kumkuma Puvvu, Lakshmi Kalyanam and Malleswari. Kumkuma Puvvu is currently the No 1 Telugu show nationally and poised to stay at the top in the foreseeable future.
Kevin Vaz, CEO, South Region, Star India, addressed the media and invitees to outline the upcoming plans at Star Maa. “Star India’s acquisition of Maa was a testimony to STAR wanting to build and grow in this market. With the brilliant synergy of the strengths of Maa and STAR, we believe, we have come a fair distance in the last few months but we are now poised to take a leap.”
“Keeping tune with changing aspirations and expectations of audience is the key to long-term success. Programming innovation, content variety, and modernising the entire packaging and quality of the channel through Star Maa brand refresh is a sign of our commitment to the Telugu people, globally,” Vaz added.
Chiranjeevi, while addressing the audience, said, “I have been part of Maa TV from its inception and this channel has been known to have vibrant, innovative, pleasant and interactive programming. The channel has been close to your hearts and you have respected and nurtured this emotional connection. With this refresh of the channel’s ID, logo and signature tune as well as a power-packed line up of new shows, I can only see Star Maa continuing to climb the charts of success.”
