Update: Motorola has just sent an update saying that only six MyMotoLogo contest winners stand a chance to win a customised Moto X. They have clarified that Moto Maker program has not come to India.



The Motorola Batwing logo was introduced on June 19, 1955. The mark was designed by Morton Goldsholl Design Associates in Chicago. The two aspiring triangles peak arching into an abstracted “M” form the basis of the iconic mark.

It was speculated that the Moto Maker program was going to come to India. These speculations were fuelled by Motorola India’s tweets, but the company has got back saying it was a build up to the contest.

According to the contest, users are expected to design their own Moto logo. The shortlisted designs will be mentored by a jury of four art influencers to make the final Batwing logo. Six winners stand a chance to win a Motorola Moto X with their customised logo on it.

On Sunday, Motorola India’s official Twitter handle pushed out a cryptic message that read, “One of a kind begets one of a kind. You are going to love this one. Watch this space to find out!” It was followed by another tweet that tried to give a better idea.



The Moto Maker programme lets users choose from a range of options like a wooden panel and leather back for the Moto X as well as the Moto 360. It also lets users choose from rear shell cover, front colour and the amount of storage space – 16GB, 32GB and 64GB. Moto Maker allows users to choose from different coloured watch cases, wristbands (leather and metal) and watch faces. Overall, it lets users choose from three case finishes, nine bands and 11 watch faces.
