Brussels Airlines and design studio WeWantMore have unveiled a renewed brand identity that finally brings the warm, personal character of Belgium’s national airline to life across every stage of the travel experience. Not a logo change, not a classic rebrand—yet a profound transformation of the brand’s expression.
From Corporate to Characterful
In 2021, following the difficult COVID period, Brussels Airlines introduced a new visual identity. But despite that effort, one key challenge remained: the brand experience still felt distant and overly corporate. Without a cohesive design system to carry its story, the airline struggled to convey its signature Belgian charm, approachable premium feel, and onboard hospitality. Visually, it also lacked distinction in a crowded landscape of interchangeable airline branding.
The Shift: From Looks to Feeling
In close collaboration with WeWantMore, Brussels Airlines redefined what an airline brand should look and feel like—without touching the logo or color palette. Anchored in the brand essence “You’re in good company,” the concept “Small details. A world of difference.” brings that promise to life.
Rather than relying solely on the polkadot logo, the new identity introduces a single dot as a guiding visual cue—a fresh signature that draws the eye toward the small gestures that make a big difference. WeWantMore also created a custom typeface, Cirrus Sans, inspired by the golden era of aviation, and subtly enriched the color palette with warmer, more premium tones.
From campaigns to inflight communication, employer branding to business lounges—even the interiors onboard—this new visual language extends across every brand touchpoint. Even the airline’s own television program now embodies the renewed identity. The result? A brand that feels like a boutique hotel in the sky—refined, warm, and unmistakably Belgian.
