Logo:

Their logo included a stylized bird that had a very geometric appearance. There was only the bird’s upper half, to be exact. Its raised wings were visible.

Dark blue and calm yellow (for the bird) make up the color scheme (for the wordmark).

The letters’ smooth and square features boost the overall design and convey the company’s philosophy in all that it does. Although most of the outlines have been changed, this custom font shares some similarities with FM Bolyar Sans Pro 700.

Here, the colors yellow and blue stand in for the sun and the sky, respectively, but yellow is also a hue of energy and movement, and blue is a well-known representation of safety, dependability, and trustworthiness.

History of the airline:

• Malayan Airways, the airline, was the original name of the business, which was established in 1947. The airline wasn’t renamed Singapore Airlines until a corporate restructure took place in 1972.
• The airline, like other British Commonwealth airlines, continued to grow throughout the remainder of the 1940s and 1950s.
• Malaysian Airways was the previous name of the airline until it changed to Malaysian Airways in 1963. After Singapore left the federation in 1966, the airline’s name was once more changed to Malaysia-Singapore Airlines (MSA)
• After splitting from MSA in 1972, SIA grew almost immediately, adding cities in Asia and the Indian subcontinent to its network and adding additional planes to its inventory, notably Boeing 747s. Summer 1973 saw the arrival of the first two 747s.
• The 30th anniversary of SIA occurred in 1977.  The airline announced in late 1976 that it would sponsor the second London-Sydney Marathon car rally, which was scheduled to take place in August-September 1977, as a way to commemorate the occasion.
• SIA gave its new passenger services substantial publicity before launching them in the US. From July 1978, numerous SIA airplanes had the message “California here we come” painted on them as part of the marketing effort.
• SIA launched a nonstop trans-Pacific service with the Airbus A340-500 from Singapore to Los Angeles and Newark in 2004.
