3 Directions

Here are the 3 possible directions I may take the new identity of Alitalia. These are what the logos would be. After chosen which direction is best, I will begin to create the identity fully with the chosen mark.

The first direction is based on the traditional approach to italian design. This has an appeal of nostalgia as well as a romantic approach.

This direction is based on the current identity. With keeping the same appeal of the iconic "A", I have updated the text and capitalized it. The new approach is current, shows class and is more vibrant than the previous. This can work because not only does it look similar to the old, but is provided with a fresh face and can still appeal to old and new customers.

This is considered the strong direction, personally. In this approach, we take a strong typeface and display it how it is. Alitalia, nothing else. This identity has the thought of having a word-mark as the strong enough voice for the airline. As well, adding the accents either beside or on top of the identity to show the strength and grace of the airline, in italian colors. Italy has been known for its extreme flying actions and these accents are usually shown when speaking about "Italian Flying"

Grad Project Spring Semester: Alitalia Re-branding

For my spring semester grad project, I decided to re-brand Alitalia airlines. The reason I chose Alitalia to rebrand was because through observation and research, it seems to have lost the lust and unique essence it once had on its customers. I plan on not only to rebrand Alitalia just visually, but hopefully to create an experience when flying with Alitalia.


Objectives:
- Logo
- Aircraft
- Advertising
- Safety Card
- Stationery
- Uniform
- Meal display
- Bag tags


Visually, these will be the areas I will focus on, with more after research
