Elevating Airport Branding:
Brighton City Airport’s Art Deco Transformation
We’re excited to showcase our collaboration with Brighton City Airport, a hub for commercial and pleasure pilots, business clients, aircraft charter customers, day trippers, and local residents.
First Stop: Stakeholder Workshop
At The Brand Surgery, we prioritise understanding our clients’ unique needs and aspirations. Tasked with rebranding Brighton City Airport’s brand identity, we held a comprehensive stakeholder workshop via Zoom to gather crucial insights.
This workshop revealed a complex mix of perspectives. Leisure Pilots, Commercial Pilots, Aircraft Charter Businesses and Pilot Training Businesses shared their passion for the iconic airport, alongside a desire for a harmonious relationship with the local community. These insights were pivotal in shaping our approach.
Logo Design Approach: Capturing the Spirit of Aviation and Heritage
Moving beyond the expected aircraft-centric design, our research highlighted the airport’s iconic Art Deco architecture as a shared point of pride. We embraced this architectural charm, crafting a logo and website that represents both the thrill of aviation and the elegance of Art Deco.
This unique logo intertwines the airport’s architectural silhouette with classic Art Deco motifs, creating a visually striking emblem. To enhance its sophistication, we incorporated a platinum effect, offering versatility with different colour palettes for various applications including Promotional Gifts and Signage, especially for the Executive Lounge.
Implementation and Future Plans
We are thrilled to announce the impending launch of the New Logo across the airport’s Digital and Physical Platforms. Our team’s dedication and expertise have been instrumental in aligning this project with our passion for heritage and aviation branding.
