Nokia gets a facelift: bye to Nokia Sans, hello to Nokia Pure

28 March, 2011
Have you ever thought to what extent a font can change the perception of a company's brand or logo? We guess you might have, but we bet you've never put as much attention into it as Nokia has. And...

    Ok, look, If EVERY company uses Android on their phones, This would Be BAD for the consumer (YOU and ME). Why, you ask? NO Competition therefore Google can FORCE you and me to do whatever they want with our phones. No competition = No need for innovation. No Competition = No choices for the Customer. Every Phone Running Android = VERY BAD!!! Get this through your heads Android Only fanboys!!! Everybody cant run Android or else it would be a Mobile MONOPOLY!!! Stop trolling Nokia threads with this Nokia Needs Android crap and write something useful and relevant for a change.

          Just what was needed. I wish Nokia had done thisearlier, before the symbian 3 phones were launched. the refresh of the platform is much needed. do it NOW, nokia!

                thank god! always thought the Nokia font was the only ugly thing about Nokia phones. it somehow really made it easy for me to go for galaxy s rather than the N8 i liked a lot... just cz the font was to ugly!!

                thumbs up to Nokia for not being so dumb!

                      Definitely like the New fonts as much as the Name! They didn't say to revolutionize guys rather it seems they are evolving in a positive way and it's always welcome, and the fonts is definitely an improvement looks more like windows phone 7 fonts i like :)

                        its way inferior. Their previous font was very nice. This one looks empty.

                              I like the new font...and just for the record i enjoy symbian3, it does what every other phone does...all these posts just say it's inferior to android but nobody ever puts specific points across...

                                  They say it is available for all the Nokia phones.. ^^
                                  that means, my prism will get its first update ever(though only the font will change, but still it's better than no update after all.. ) kudos to Nokia.! :)

                                    The new font does not require high speed processor :)

                                      Nokia - If any of the fools in your R&D department would just read the comments in this article you would get a fairly accurate idea of what Nokia users in general think of your product. I was a hard Nokia fan for years and years. Now I'm with Android.
