Abstract
European carriers have been redefining their visual identities over the past decade to stay competitive and relevant in a rapidly evolving aviation market. From contemporary logo updates and refreshed liveries to unified group branding strategies, airlines across the continent are using design to signal modernization, strategic repositioning, and stronger ties to heritage. Notable shifts include Transavia’s refreshed identity for a digital, sustainability-oriented future, Brussels Airlines’ contemporary brand evolution to clarify its market position, and broader group-level initiatives such as Lufthansa Group’s new unified brand identity to reinforce customer trust and cohesion across its airlines. These changes reflect broader industry trends toward clearer visual expression, stronger digital presence, and purposeful branding that connects with both legacy values and future ambitions.
