Logo history & brand milestones
One logo record is catalogued. The milestones below are dated separately from it.
The 1997 logo and the 2006 livery update, with company milestones. The 1997 artwork is not described in detail in the sources checked. Company and product dates are labelled separately from design changes.
Logo milestone · 1997
Qatar Airways revealed a new logo in 1997, alongside the introduction of Airbus A300-600R aircraft leased from Ansett Worldwide Aviation Services. Later coverage refers to 1997 as the year of the airline's relaunch. [1] [2]
Company milestone · 2002-05
Qatar withdrew from Gulf Air, of which it had been a joint owner since 1974, to concentrate on developing its own national airline. [1]
Visual identity milestone · 2006-03-08
At the ITB travel fair in Berlin, Qatar Airways unveiled a new livery: a much larger oryx on the tailfin, the word QATAR in large burgundy letters on the forward fuselage in place of the full airline name, and Arabic lettering in light grey beside it. The oryx logo was also placed on the aircraft belly and winglets, and repainting the fleet was expected to take at least a year. [2] [3] [4]
Company milestone · 2013-10
Qatar Airways joined the Oneworld airline alliance. [1]
