Avast New Logo and Product Release

Latest comment: 3 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Hi Wikipedia community,

Sept. 16, 2021, the Avast company has undergone a key transformation and has rebranded as well as released a new product. Being a part of the Avast Integrated Marketing team, I wanted to share the materials needed for the wikipedia community to update the Avast page as I understand Wikipedia strongly discourages companies from handling this directly.

You can find the link to the Avast Logo here.

You can find the new Avast One product guide here.

If additional information is required, here you'll find the Avast fact sheet.

The rigorous detail with which you approach your work is much appreciated,

Avast → Avast Software – Company name is "Avast Software". Eurohunter (talk) 00:41, 7 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

Comment It seems to be branded simply as Avast so surely per WP:COMMON NAME it should remain as Avast. Dormskirk (talk) 00:49, 7 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
