1963 – 1971
The first logo was designed for the Air Djibouti company in 1963 and stayed in use for almost eight years. It was a super simple composition, with just the name of the brand written in solid red capitals against a plain white background. It was set in a stable and clean geometric sans-serif typeface, with lots of air in between the characters and a short red dash dividing the two words.
1971 – 197?
The redesign of 1971 has created a graphical logo for the company, with the lettering on it. It was a contoured image of a Kudu Antelope, a very rare and graceful animal, which hardly migrates across Africa, living compactly in the Red Sea region. The head of the Antelope is accompanied by two stylized horizontal wings and enclosed into a thin circular frame.
197?
Another version of the Air Djibouti badge featured a more elegant depiction of the kudu antelope, drawn inside gold. The roundel was now placed on the left from the enlarged slanted lettering in bright red, underlined by the nickname of the company, “The Red Sea Airlines” set in small place capitals with the horizontal lines coming out of the “R” and the “S”.
197? – 1981
The logo, designed for the air carrier at the end of the 1970s has kept the concept of the previous versions, but got a more balanced color palette, with just red and black elements. The shade of red, which was now used both for the massive lettering and the elegant emblem, was significantly lighter than in the previous design.
1982 – 2002
The redesign of 1982 has refined the contours of the graphical emblem, keeping the two-leveled lettering part practically untouched. The antelope was now drawn inside gold-black, with the shape of the horns more distinctive and sharp. The circular roundel is colored red, and its thickness changes: the thinnest part of the ring is between the horns of the company’s mascot.
2015 – Today
In 2015 the composition of the Air Djibouti logo was changed and the emblem became the main star of the show. The white kudu image in a circular frame is now drawn across a solid red horizontally oriented rectangle, set against a transparent background and accompanied by a black two-leveled lettering with the sans-serif typeface modernized and the contours of the characters strengthened.
