Meaning of the SIA logo

[Greatfox]

Can't believe it's a goose.
It looks much more like a phoenix to me.

sorry, just irked me...

[RJA]

I used to think it was a waving hand.... and even till now I see the hand before I see the bird.

Me too! Glad I'm not the only one!

i tot it is a pegion?

[UMD]

i tot it is a pegion?

That would be Merpati Nusantara Airlines

Actually I remembered someone did tell me it was supposed to be a pigeon long long time ago.

Well, for sure it is not the mythical Garuda bird.

If it is a Phoenix, then it is Air China

If it is a Swallow, then it is China Eastern

It it is a Crane, then it is Lufthansa (and JAL long time ago before JAL management went coo coo and killed the bird for a stupid red stain on its tail)

Out of all "Bird liveries" out there, I think JAL is the winner. Just love that red crane. Of course, J-Bird is very nice too.

Hi everyone, I was just wondering what kind of bird is portayed on the SIA logo???

Is it a fenix ????

No, acutally it is a dove - the symbol for peace. My dad used to work in Singapore airlines. Years ago during the 70s, I saw the SQ Staff News Bulletin which explained the meaning of the stylized dove.

Merpati Nusantara Airlines tailfin looks more like 3 blankets!

So now it is confirmed that SQ bird is a dove which scientifically speaking is also a pigeon.

Actually I believe Merpati's decal, despite the airline is named after a pigeon (or dove), is to symbolize bridges across the Indonesian archipelago. I don't know why Landor & Associates decided it was the best decal for Merpati and not some sort of bird looking decal.

Garuda's decal (which also came from Landor) looks the best I think. JAL's crane was up there but too bad it was now killed off.

Air Lanka also used to have a great decal (a phoenix, I believe) but now the new Srilankan decal just looks like 3 very lumpy green and red chili peppers.

[SQBoi]

It is a bird for sure but i dont think its of any breed.

The logo is a stylised version of a bird in rich gold that symbolizes flight. SQ took the recommendations by Walter Landor Associates of San Francisco and hopes the logo to present a polished and modern image that is appropriate to a dynamic and international airlines.

actually, the current srilankan livery is supposed to be a bird

SriLankan Airlines corporate logo features the peacock bird ('Monara' in Sinhala) and is considered a good Feng Shui motif and signifies growth, fame and abundance. The colors Green, Red and Orange adapted in the logo are in accordance with Feng Shui elemental analysis symbolizing wood and fire.

The SIA Logo is not a dove or pigeon. It's actualy a Golden Phoenix. I forgot what it actually meant. I will get back to u guys when i get back from my office. It's somewhere there.

I know that the current Srilankan's logo is also a bird but compared to the old logo, it is a very awful bird. The new bird actually looks sick to me (despite being colorful). I do like the old Airlanka's bird much much better. Well, maybe that's why I am not a fengshui master.
