INTRODUCTION

The good result comes from robust process. I am presenting a process to show how to explore a good concept

into a good output. It isn't just about a logo. It's a whole system of design process.

RESEARCH AND BRAINSTORMING

HISTORY

REBRANDING POTENTIAL

PAN AM was once the largest international air carrier in the United States, an industry innovator having been the first airline to implement the widespread use of computerized reservation systems and jumbo jets.

Pan American Airlines used to have very glorious history and reputation.

The coming rebranding objective is to create an identity that would feel contemporary with consumers, while still being respectful of the brand’s rich heritage.

The airline never recovered from the 1988 Lockerbie bombing, and the 1990-91 Gulf War that came on its heels. It has been more than 20 years since the company has serviced a single airplane, but its logo lives on in the form of purses, t-shirts, and even as the subject of a television series on ABC starring Christina Ricci.

MISSION STATEMENT The mission of PAN AM is to provide a best traveling experience and afford traveling with limitless possibilities.

BRAND SOUL Reaching a destination means the beginning of culture exchange.
