Meet our mascot!

Howdy all?

It is not easy to come up with a logo/mascot that represents all that a project is about. We knew we didn't want anything overly Indian looking, say like Taj Mahal or the flag, yet we wanted something that has a subtle Indian touch. We also knew that it has to appeal to the young and the young at heart. And after going through dozons - actually more like 100 - designs, we found exactly what we were looking for.

Presenting (drumroll...) the new mascot for aflatune (more durmroll...) -




Subtly Indian (elephant!), hip & trendy, happy but with an attitude! Isn’t he cute? :)

What say y'all? BTW, he hasn't been named yet. Hint, hint!

The journey starts here!

Hi all,

We will be launching aflatune.com soon... What's that, you ask? In short, it is an online music experience like never before, made especially for all the Indian music lovers out there. Some cool things that you might notice right away would be -
  • search and browse through our music library with web 2.0 application style UI (think gmail)
  • add songs to playlist while music playback is on (no more popup audio players)
  • play both audio tracks (from aflatune music library) and videos from YouTube in the same (!) playlist
  • easy to use live (search as you type) search
  • aflatune remembers your playlist after you close the browser so you can continue listening next time (it even remembers what song you were playing!)
  • and much more...

It has been an exciting experience bringing all this coolness together and there's a whole lot more on the horizon to look forward to!

Sign up for our launch mailing list on http://aflatune.com and join us on this journey!
