Vodafone-Idea's 'Vi' becomes fodder for memes on Twitter
On September 7, 2020, i.e. Monday, Vodafone-Idea announced their brand new name and logo after their joint association has resulted to be quite fruitful for both the telecom operators. With the announcement of all-things 'Vi', its new brand identity instantly became fodder for 'memers' to churn out some hilarious memes.
Soon after both operators unveiled the name and logo of their merger, competitor Reliance Jio was quick to congratulate them on the same in a humourous way as they tweeted writing, "Vi love to see you together.@VodafoneIN@Idea #JioTogether ".

However, in no time, hundreds and thousands of hysterical memes about Vodafone-Idea's 'Vi' started doing rounds on Twitter. One user took a reference of the sensational Netflix show Indian Matchmaking, by sharing a photo of host Sima Taparia, to let Jio know about the pivotal role it played in the merger as he tweeted writing, "You played an important role in this matchmaking". Another user took a sly dig at the telecom providers' network issues as he shared a funny Lionel Messi meme and tweeted, "#vodafoneidea renamed as vi. Me who was waiting for an announcement about better network".
Twitterati also took references from popular scenes of iconic films, web series, television shows and commercial ads to churn out several laugh-worthy memes. With extensive ad campaigns on television about the launch of 'Vi', Twitterati also didn't hold back from slamming Vodafone-Idea about the same. From Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah to Phir Hera Phir references, memers left no stone unturned to make netizens go 'LOL'.
