Korean Pacific Air Lines - 대한태평양항공

Full Service

Seoul, South Korea

Modern

Before I brievely go over the design of Korean Pacific, I must say at first that I really enjoyed working on this EADC submission and that I look forward to EADC 2024.

Korean Pacific is born from my idea to design a livery based on South Korea's national bird: the Oriental Magpie (Pica serica​). Creating a livery based on elements of a specific bird and not the the figure of the bird itself (if you see what I mean) is something that I don't see often so I thought it would be pretty interesting to see how it would turn out. This specie of bird (Oriental Magpie) is a common symbol of Korean nationality and is traditionally very appreciated by Koreans, it is found in the cultural folkore of the nation and is seen as a bird of prosperity, good and luck, which seems fitting for the marketing of an airline based in Korea.

Thus, the tail design found in my livery is meant to be an elegant stylization of the Oriental Magpie's feathers featuring its greenish-blue-black colours, the way the stylization is, is also symbolizing dynamism and excellent service. The same can be said for the grey patterns on the fuselage, being an element that I added to avoid the livery being blank, and adds on the style this livery already uses. The Korean titles are put on the back of the fuselage for more uniqueness, and the Rolls-Royce logo on the engines is adapted to the colour theme and becomes blue and white-grey. The logo is itself a stylization of the feather pattern, albeit "lighter". To try to make the brand more "chic", I made the "KOREAN" in the logo bold and left "PACIFIC" like it is.
