Specialist Aviation Services (Branding)

Raising brand awareness with a new, premium identity

Specialist Aviation Services (Branding)

Specialist Aviation Services (SAS) provide leading edge, bespoke aviation solutions to the emergency services, corporate and utility operators.

The Challenge
SAS approached 16i with the requirement for a more modern, prestigious brand identity. Key aims of the project were to create a new, symbolic logo, and corporate identity, whilst incorporating a number of pre-existing brand elements.
Approach
Key brand values, audience types, and potential brand statements were identified through an intital creative workshop with members of the SAS team. Keen to keep green as the key brand colour and for a propeller to be used in the logo, the designers created a number of iconic, abstract propeller shapes for consideration. A more premium green was also selected, and complemented by a diverse colour palette, allowing a number of colour variations and inversions to be used. Once complete, the first draft of the logo, strapline, colour palette, and brand mock-ups were presented back to SAS for feedback and refined in order to produce the finalised brand.
Key features / customisations
Key features include: duotone image overlay, abstract logo with a variety of treatment variations, strapline, complementary premium colour palette.
