In a bid to fulfil their social responsibility and to educate people about the significance of social distancing during the coronavirus pandemic, corporate conglomerates are redesigning their brand logos in a creative and unique manner.

Let's take a look at them: 

McDonald's

McDonald's pulled apart its iconic golden arches in a picture posted to its Facebook page. The ad agency explained that despite the temporary separation between its customers and the company caused by closures of some of its restaurants, they "can always be together."

Coca-Cola

Coca-Cola, a major force in global advertising, said it would suspend ads on social media for at least 30 days as it reassesses its policies, though it said the decision was not related to the #StopHateForProfit campaign.

"There is no place for racism in the world and there is no place for racism on social media," James Quincey, chairman and CEO of The Coca-Cola Company, said in a brief statement.

Nike

Nike did not alter its logo, but it launched a large social media campaign with its global roster of star athletes including NBA player LeBron James and golfer Tiger Woods. The campaign encourages people to play inside.
