Ryanair Logo Font
Emmanuelle Riker
A solid guide and usage book to the brand identity was creating for internal and external reference. The logo can be viewed live on the Tickets site. The identity was created so it could scale and adapt depending on device size.

When you think of Ireland, what exactly comes to mind? Is it green hills, redheads or four-leaf clovers? There is also an Irish drink that has distinguished itself on the international stage and has become one of the symbols of this country: Guinness beer! Whether you like this stout or not, you can't separate Guinness from your country of origin. Today, we are going to take the time to explain where this logo came from, as well as the symbolism behind it.
Then, decade after decade, the company exported its beers throughout the British Empire, and then around the world becoming the most famous stout. This is due in part to a good quality product, a strong brand image and advertising campaigns (using the famous toucan bird at times) since the 1940s. As well, the harp symbol as a logo was used as early as 1862, making the Guinness logo one which has been able to stand the test of time.
As mentioned above, the first Guinness logo was used as early as 1862, although it became a registered trademark in 1876. The logo was then composed of the name Guinness, the signature of the founder, and a harp where "trademark" was written. The harp then had many small visual details. The original logo quickly allowed the Dublin-based company to be noticed wherever it was exported. In 1858, Guinness beer could even be found in places as far away as New Zealand!
Before moving on to the various Guinness brand logos over the years, the importance of the harp as a symbol of Ireland should be discussed. It is a symbol widely used in the history of this country. First, it is a Gaelic musical instrument. One still exists today which belonged to King Brian Boru according to legend. This figure is known as the first ruler to unify Ireland against the Viking occupation. Since then, like the clover symbol, the harp has been a common emblem to represent this country, whether for its coat of arms or on its coins.
It should also be mentioned that this symbol was used by the instigators of the 1916 revolt, and then as the official emblem of the country when the state of Ireland was created. However, the new Irish government of 1922 encountered a major problem since Guinness had already been using the harp as a trademark for 50 years. Since this musical instrument symbolized the unity among everyone of Ireland, they decided to use the symbol of the harp in spite of everything, but in reverse to the logo of the brewery. Subsequently, other Irish companies began to use other versions of this famous harp for their logo, including the airline Ryanair.
In 1968, the company began to use a simplified version of the logo where the details on the instrument disappeared. The number of strings also decreased to only nine. In 1995, a version inspired by the last two logos was created. The removed details were back but simplified. Unfortunately, this was short-lived as the company redesigned its image in 1995 with an even more simplified version of its logo without any details. A new, more refined version was also created in 2005. However, it should also be noted that the year the company was founded is often written on the logos, regardless of the redesign.
In conclusion, don't hesitate to take inspiration from the Guinness logo when creating your own logo or redesigning it. Why not use a known symbol of your area for your logo like Guinness did? The legends and mythology of your country may inspire you. For example, did you know that the Nike logo was inspired by the Greek goddess of victory?
Sometimes you have an urge to redesign a logo you see all the time. And that's what Duda is doing today with the Ryanair Airline logo! She'll go over the history of the Ryanair logo from the 80s up until now, and then walk you through the process of creating a new logo design while also staying true to the original icon. So watch until the end so you don't miss the final reveal!
AirTran's livery was primarily white, with teal on the ventral side. The sections were divided by parallel red and pink stripes, which ran horizontal at the front and started to curve upward at the wings until they reached the top side of the plane at the back of the vertical stabilizer. The nacelles were royal blue, with "airtran.com" written in white Helvetica font. The logo version of "AirTran" was written toward the front on either side in teal above the passenger windows and the vertical stabilizer was teal with a prominent white cursive "A," just like the beginning of the logo.
AirTran Airways also created several special livery aircraft. They included an aircraft featuring Elton John and Danica Patrick. AirTran also partnered with the Orlando/Orange County CVB to create a Boeing 717 aircraft emblazoned with a "Say YES to Orlando" logo on each side and a second Boeing 717 saying "Orlando Makes Me Smile," which celebrated AirTran Airways' partnership with the OOCVB to promote travel to the city. The airline also had an aircraft paying tribute to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Orlando.
The development of this logo shows that sometimes a series of progressive changes works better than a complete overhaul. As designers sometimes we have an urge to move away completely from a previous concept when all that is needed is some careful tweaks and adjustments. Good Job.
Margaret Thatcher hated the British Airways logo so much she called it terrible and took out a hankerchief and put it over the tail of the model airplane during its unveiling. The iron lady apparently thought that the British Union Jack should be the logo!
I have found the answer on Reddit; it seems that it's some sort of bug which makes Chrome think it can substitute Open Sans with a different type. In my case it was a font named "Andalusea" which I at one point installed.
