A brand identity has to have a distinct visual look that is associated with a company. Before moving forward to the step for a new logo design, we need to look at the history of the brand. Through the flow of logo development, we can see how TWA has expressed its brand. Looking at the history of the previous logo is a great help in creating a new logo.

THE KEY CONCEPT

The new logo features the concept with TWA keywords such as pioneer, unlimited, and brave. It also expresses the images of keywords based on the brand mission. Design process will be like these. After research the previous logo history, it needs several steps for creating the new logo. 300 initial sketches at the beginning step and then narrow down the design direction. The sketches belong to logotype camps like symbol, graphics and wordmark. More sketches help to make an opportunity to think about the creative ways to design logo. Sketches convert to digital for the final version.
