Pieter C. 5 Report post Posted March 3, 2006 CX = reminds me of chicken wings...especially BBQ chicken wings. On a serious note, I think Frontier Airlines' name plus billboard fonts are unique. I've seen them in Canada and Alaska. More here: http://www.lockonaviation.net/html/frontierairlines.html Denny, Don't want to spoil the party, but ain't we talking about airline-logos here, instead of tail-colours ?? Big difference, in my opinion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Keith T 2 Report post Posted March 3, 2006 I liked it even better before they decided to do away with the world tails series (I like Chelsea Rose, Colum and Delftblue Daybreak) Still my favourite is the old Landor logo with the coat of arms. I prefer the current one because its modern, sophisticated and defines the legacy of BA, as THE flag carrier of the UK. I felt that the world tails ones complicated the identity of the carrier and was probably reflective of the aspiration of the carrier at that time to fly to as many places as they can around the globe.

Pieter C. 5 Report post Posted March 3, 2006 China Airlines - Mei Hua flower - National flower of the Kuomintang. On a side note, Mei Hua. however, is not a symbol for Communist China. I believe China's is Jasmine. Air New Zealand - Koru - Traditional Maori pattern Vietnam - Golden Lotus - prolly something to do with Buddhism Thai - (not sure about the name) but the fabric the Thais put on top of the elephant's head or body JAL (old livery) - Tsuru (crane) - Oriental crane symbolises longevity and peacfulness. Korean - Ying/Yang symbol - Though the Ying/Yang symbol is Chinese in origin, Korean adopted Chinese culture for many centuries. In fact Korea today is in fact the example modern Confucian society along with Singapore. Even more so than China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Vietnam and Japan. Dragonair - Dragon - an Oriental symbol. Various Chinese Airlines - China Southern, Air China, China Southern and etc. Just birds in general, can't read their meaning behind it. Except perhaps Air China's might be a Phoenix (another Chinese symbol). Garuda - Bird - legendary Indonesian bird called Garuda. American - Eagle - American Eagle as national symbol. Canadian - Maple leaf - national symbol. British Airways - part section of the stylised the Union Jack - national flag. Ansett - Southern Cross - corresponding to the number of stars found on the Australian flag. 6 stars for Ansett Australia. 4 red stars for Ansett New Zealand Aer Lingus - traditional green leaf - symbol of Ireland. You can see this also on St Patrick's day. Alaskan Eskimos - bloody snow and cold over there! where's KLM ??? - crown - as the airline was appointed by the late Queen Wilhelmina to be called a "Royal" company...there was even a debate two years ago in parliament, to abolish the crown, " as KLM would be taken over by Air France"...the current queen, Beatrix, granted the further use of the crown, despite being part of the AF-KL group nowadays Could you imagine the KLM name without the crown ???

Peter Smith 1 Report post Posted March 3, 2006 MH, and TG's new facelifted logo are my personal faves. However one I sorely miss, is the various Ansett (and Ansett Australia and Ansett. and Ansett WA.......) logo's over the years. The new logo of Skywest (a former Ansett feeder airline) is stunning from all angles! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Fendy Report post Posted March 3, 2006 Does anyone know the meaning behind Air Asia's logo? liam and i were talking about this awhile back according to him its a stylised 'air' on one side and 'asia' on the other Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
H Azmal 0 Report post Posted March 3, 2006 (edited) or "Mr. Bean" and/or "Keeping up appearances" Oh, plenty more! Ab Fab, Sherlock Holmes (with Jeremy Brett and Edward Hardwicke/David Burke), Little Britain, Mind Your Language.... Not to say the current BA scheme is bad, but just too plain 'white and empty', to me. I'd rather they stick to the old landor scheme, but each man to his own I suppose.

Big difference, in my opinion Correct its airline logo...Frontier's logo is very simple, just those words. Nevertheless, Frontier's tails have become so recognizable that they have become as part of the airline's identity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
