SkyQuest is an airline branding project that focuses on creating a dynamic and adventurous visual identity for solo travelers and couples seeking unique experiences. The brand aims to bridge the gap between affordable flights and curated getaway packages tailored for exploration and adventure.
My Approach
I focused on creating an experience-driven brand that captures the excitement of travel while staying approachable and professional. By using dynamic shapes and vibrant colors, I aimed to evoke a sense of movement and exploration. Storytelling was at the core of the design, ensuring every element—from the logo to the mockups—felt cohesive and reflected SkyQuest’s adventurous spirit.
