A 2014 study showed that 85% of consumers selected a brand over their competition based on the colors of the logo. A business logo is the visual brand identity of any business. Airline logos set themselves apart from the competition by color, design, and brand statement.

Is your airline in need of a visual facelift? Check out our top 5 airline logos below to inspire your fleet!

1. Women in Aviation (Washington State Chapter)

The first thing that should stand out about this logo is the Seattle Space Needle. One of the most iconic structures in America, it is the focal point of the logo. You also see a beautiful backdrop of mountains, and a prop engine plane flying over a lake.

The bold white lettering will quickly grab your attention and it makes everything else stand out. This logo easily captures the essence of the state and should give you the inspiration to provide quality services to your clients.

2. Australian Airlines

This airline logo is inspiring for a number of reasons. The first is the picture of the kangaroo, which is generally the first animal you think of when Australia comes to mind. Second is the colors in the logo. Brown is unique and unconventional in airline business logos. This is another excellent idea when making changes to your logo.

Finally, the actual tagline is critical. Many international airline brands simply have the name of the brand listed but saying “catch the holiday spirit” will subtly make the customer think of vacationing in Australia on their next break. Smart moves all around!

3. Jerusalem Airlines

The winged lion is a mythical creature used throughout storytelling, with iconic tales showing its strength and beauty. The Jerusalem Airline logo is simple and has black and white lettering around a yellow circle trim, with the winged lion leaping in the air.

Direct and to the point, having the wing lion poised to attack should be all the inspiration needed when you look at it daily.

4. VIP Air

The three large letters, and the blue, white, and black combined lettering of “VIP”, are the first noticeable things about this airline logo. This is similar to the West Palm Jet Charter logo that has a blue wave in the background. Next is the uniqueness of the plane flying through the logo.

How can this be inspirational? It shows any airline business that you need to keep climbing in order to be successful. Many logos incorporate a plane, but cutting straight through the company name is a clever strategy.

5. BX Air

The final of our top 5 airline logos was created by BX Air. The red design is shaped like a runway, with red being a color commonly used in marketing. The airplane ascends after takeoff, and the logo as a whole can provide creativity that should be used to get the business ideas flowing.

Having a look at this logo shows the design was well thought out, and original when compared to other competitors.
