2000 – 2015
The first Jeju Air logo, designed in 2000, was fun and memorable. The badge was composed of a bold gray wordmark in a slanted sans-serif typeface, followed by a playful orange emblem with the abstract winking face, where the nose was replaced by a hand-drawn letter “J”.
2015 – now
The redesign of 2015 has completely changed the concept of the JeJu Air logo, and the color palette of the badge too. The new logo features a bold geometric lettering in solid orange; with the first part set in the uppercase, and the “Air” — in the lowercase. The dot above the “I” was replaced by a bright blue triangle.
