Condor, the German airline revived by a new ownership and recapitalisation in July 2021, has revealed a new brand identity today, focused on stripes. Inspired by parasols, bath towels and beach chairs, Condor livery will feature stripes in five colours.
"Condor has undergone a transformation over the past two and a half years: From a subsidiary of a vertically integrated travel group to an independent airline that looks back proudly on its history and tradition, while at the same time embarking on the path to the future. We want to express this unmistakably through our corporate identity: Condor is vacation and Condor is unmistakable - like our new design, with which we are now launching into the future," says Ralf Teckentrup, CEO of Condor. "Our new trademark are stripes, our figurative mark stands for our origin and the colours for diversity. This triad is new, what remains is our passion. It has always made Condor unique and is therefore also reflected in our claim: Passion is our compass."
The Condor lettering has also been adapted and appears in high-contrast black on the fuselage of the aircraft. Initially, Condor's aircraft will carry five colours in a striped look: yellow, red, blue, green, and beige, which the company states “stand for the facets of the diversity of Condor's guests, employees and the multitude of opportunities to discover the world with Condor”.
The new design was unveiled in Toulouse with the first A330neo, which will take off for Condor in the fall. The first aircraft will take off with green stripes as early as tomorrow: Airbus A321 with the registration D-AIAD will wear yellow stripes and fly to Lanzarote on April 5 at noon. In the upcoming weeks, five more Boeing 757 and Airbus A320/1 aircrafts will be repainted, so that six aircraft will be flying in the new design in the summer flight schedule. They will mainly fly to Mallorca, Greece, the Canary Islands and Egypt.
