2002 – 2007
The first QantasLink logo, introduced at the beginning of the 2000s, featured a red, white, and black composition with the corporate Qantas emblem in red and white, and an enlarged uppercase lettering in red and black. The inscription was set in a slanted geometric sans-serif font.
2007 – 2017
The redesign of 2007 has slightly enlarged the triangular emblem, and refined the contours of the inscription, making them smoother and more elegant. The color palette of the wordmark was switched to gray and red, which created a softer mood and a better balance.
2017 – now
In 2017 the contour of the triangular emblem was modernized, and now it looks more like the wing of a plane. It was also enlarged, so the white kangaroo is better visible. As for the lettering, it was also enlarged and switched its typeface to a straight geometric one, with full-chapped capital characters set in dark gray and red.
