Since this is a sub-brand of China Airlines, I wanted to ensure that there is a connection between the logos. Upon researching China Airlines I found the logo is the national flower of Taiwan. I proceeded to research for national symbols of the country, and settled on the butterfly for its connection with flower. To take it a step further, I also combined elements of China Airlines’ logo in Formosa’s logo. The butterfly logo is abstracted for a modernized look to identify with the new generation of travelers.
Patterns designed utilizing the brand identity of the butterfly, the parent company’s flower, and Taiwan’s mountainous geography.
Boarding passes are designed vertically for a unique and modern style matching the brand’s core values.
