New logo: Corsair International


Corsairfly, a French airline belonging to the travel group TUI, announced last week that it would change its name to Corsair International. At the same time, it introduces a new corporate identity and a tagline that translates into "Open other horizons".

The new identity was reportedly created by Dream On, an agency otherwise known for motion branding. The blue logo should remind us of the sky and the sails "give a special status and a noble representaion of travel". The airline will start repainting planes in July this year.

New look: Tiji


Tiji is a French TV channel for children under the age of seven. Last month, on February 10, it introduced a new on-air look as well as a new logo, its first logo change since the channel launched in the year 2000.

The new identity was created by Gédéon, who also rebranded Tiji's primary competitor Piwi+ less than a year ago. The cloud-shaped logo has been updated and can take on different textures and forms, such as paper, clay, paint and cardboard. Bumpers and graphics are situated in a "suspended" world that leaves room for children's imagination.
