1990 – today
To convey the concept of Pegasus Airlines, the logo creators depicted the mythical creature from the company’s name. A white-winged horse bursts out of a yellow trapezoid, which is part of the tail plumage of the airplane. Beneath it is the bright red word “PEGASUS.” The word is written in a unique, bold serif font. The letters are slanted to the right, which strengthens the inherent dynamism of the emblem. The very bottom of the horizontal bar gives acceleration to the word “AIRLINES,” written in a strict gray font without serifs.
The yellow trapezoid marks the tail plumage and draws attention to the winged horse, creating a focal point. The slanted letters in the word “PEGASUS” add dynamism and indicate forward movement or progress, which is in keeping with the concept of flight. The gray sans-serif font for the word “AIRLINES” gives a modern, straightforward feel, contrasting with the more complex elements of the logo.
