DTConcepts Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 There's probably already a thread for this, but after a recent bit of traveling, I wanted to bring up some airport logos. Some are boring, some are abstract, and some are great. My favorite is Pittsburgh International Airport's logo. But my local airport's logo isn't that great. It has good representation but doesn't have anything special about it. What are some other good/bad/interesting airport logos? "You ain't gonna learn what you don't wanna know..."

ChicagoOakland Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 My hometown airport (Oakland International) doesn't have a logo as much as they have a stylized slogan. And the city I currently live in decided to play up the "Minnesota nice" factor on theirs: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kroywen Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 The Hartsfield-Jackson logo in Atlanta is fairly clean and attractive, although obviously from decades ago: I've always been rather fond of the Houston Airport System logo: O'Hare and Midway just use diagrams of their terminals, which I think is a really missed opportunity for Midway, since they have such a simple and distinctive runway layout: Newark Liberty has a rather dated logo that gets intermittently used these days: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victormrey Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 This is the logo of the airport from the city where I live in: Nothing amazing, it's just a customized version of the AENA (Aeropuertos Españoles y Navegación Aérea / Spanish Airports and Air Navigation) logo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leopard88 Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 My "local" airport -- I'm pretty sure the plane/initials part of the logo has been in use since the name changed from Friendship International to BWI in the early-mid 70s.

-kj Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Most airport logos are painfully generic. It's funny that the original post mentioned Denver's as not having anything special about it; to me, it stands out as not only being well designed, but actually having something to do with the airport itself. Speaking of weird and generic, here's San Diego's: Buy some t-shirts and stuff at KJ Shop!

Dalcowboyfan92 Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 My local airport (Lehigh Valley International) has a meh logo; but has a really unique motto, encompassing the Lehigh Valley's three biggest cities (Allentown, Bethlehem and Easton) into its logo.

dfwabel Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 San Francisco International (SFO) commissioned Luxon-Carra to make their new logo for the opening of their international terminal in 2000 and came up with this: Near the same time, Dallas-Fort Worth International (DFW) also commissioned Luxon-Carra and in 2001 was given this: DFW was a little upset, but kept the logo until October 2015 when they changed to this from Interbrand.

I'm not sure when the name changed.

BKarchitect Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 My airport: Have a lot of stop-overs in Detroit, which has a pretty terrible logo: Most recent trips out of: Amsterdam...abstract but I like the typeface and movement: Innsbruck (not so much a logo but a wordmark that fits with their entire city visual identity): Florence...looking like a rocket blasting through from an element logo on the periodic table. I really like the typeface. Actually I quite like the whole thing.
