1986 – 1999
The first Spanair logo, created in the middle of the 1980s, featured a simple yet elegant composition of a title case lettering in a serif typeface, set in a dark shade of blue under a stylized orange and blue emblem, formed by two parts with delicate waves on each. The emblem evokes a sense of motion and looked very friendly and delicate.
1999 – 2009
The redesign of 1999 has refined the contours of all elements on the Spanair logo and switched the color palette to a lighter one. The wavy pattern on the emblem was replaced by a solid one, while the two elements were changed to four, forming a rhomboid figure. As for the lettering, it got emboldened and slanted, adding more vitality to the composition.
2009 – 2012
In 2009 the Spanair badge has undergone another redesign, with both the blue and orange shades getting darker and more intense. The new concept depicts a stylized geometric emblem, looking like a ring with a playful stroke in the middle. The orange of the emblem has smooth gradient shades. The wordmark was also fully rewritten, and now it is set on the right from the emblem in the title case of a stable geometric sans-serif typeface.
