Love is in the Air
“Overall, I think this is one of the best airline redesigns we’ve seen in many years. There is a clear pride in it from Southwest. It’s almost rare for a company to have this much confidence in a rebranding launch.”

Avianca Airlines
Latin Excellence.
In creating the visual identity, it was important to reflect the heritage and legacy of both Avianca and TACA, but also signal that this is a new, pan-Latin American Avianca. This work included a new logo, brand architecture system, livery, and visual system. The new identity was built on the symbolic power of the Condor, a symbol long associated with Avianca but now in a modern form that figuratively links South, Central, and North America. Additional design elements included aircraft interiors, various mood lighting schemes, and other experiential details that brought the new brand to life.

Taca Airlines
In 2008, TACA undertook a strategic brand refresh to modernize the airline’s identity ahead of its regional expansion and eventual alliance with Avianca.
The redesign introduced a bold wordmark and symbol intended to express energy, optimism, and forward momentum—moving away from a more traditional aviation aesthetic toward a contemporary, confident Latin American carrier. The identity emphasized simplicity and clarity across touchpoints, from aircraft livery to airport environments and communications, positioning TACA as a unified regional brand with global ambition.
