1978 – 2002
The logo, created for Monarch Airlines in 1978, featured a combination of a title case lettering and a pretty simple emblem, composed of a capital letter “M” with a solid black rhombus, making the letter look like a crow with three peaks and three roundel’s above them. The inscription was also set in black, and used an extra bold sans-serif typeface.
2002 – 2009
The redesign of 2002 has kept the idea of the original emblem, but refined and modernized the contours of all elements and switched the color palette of Monarch Airlines’ visual identity to blue and yellow. The emblem was now placed on the left from the wordmark, which got its typeface changed to a contemporary sans-serif.
2009 – 2011
In 2009 the Monarch Airlines badge was changed again, and the graphical part of the badge was completely removed. Now the badge was composed of just lowercase lettering in dark blue, set in a modern sans-serif typeface with slightly rounded contours of the characters.
2011 – 2017
The last logo in the air carrier’s history was created in 2011 and used the original idea of the logo, with the crown-like emblem and a title case wordmark. It was the logo from 2002, but drawn in solid purple color on a white background; with no additional shades or elements.
