Australian Financial Review alters logo for Mercedes-Benz campaign
Fairfax Media’s Australian Financial Review has moved away from its blue-coloured logo to a black back-drop today, as part of an advertising stunt with Mercedes-Benz.
The campaign sees the Financial Review’s logo altered with a black back drop and the car brand’s symbol.
