Korean Air unveils new corporate identity and aircraft livery
Korean Air has officially revealed a comprehensive new corporate identity and aircraft livery, marking its first major brand update since 1984. The refresh is designed to align with the airline's integration with Asiana Airlines and its vision as a leading global carrier.
New Look & Livery
The most visible change is the aircraft livery, which now features a bold, enlarged "KOREAN" logotype in dark blue, replacing the traditional "Korean Air" text. The fuselage retains the airline’s signature sky-blue color but now features a premium metallic effect and a sweeping curve design that replaces the old cheatline. The iconic Taegeuk symbol on the tail has been modernized into a simplified, dark blue design, moving away from the traditional red and blue color scheme.
