Croatia Airlines plans to unveil its new visual identity and livery on Tuesday June 18. The new branding will be introduced with the arrival of its first Airbus A220-300 aircraft, which is currently in the paint shop. The carrier has remained tight-lipped on its new look, but an emphasis will be put on revamping the company’s logo as part of its new visual identity. The carrier’s initial logo was chosen in an international competition in 1993 and was designed by Vilim Vasata who in 1995 developed the current brand identity, while Ivana Ivanković, who serves as the company's Head of Corporate Design, was responsible for the airline’s existing livery, which was adopted in 2004.

Croatia Airlines refreshed its look by slightly tweaking its livery in 2019. As part of the new design, the letters "Croatia" on the fuselage were made larger, making them more noticeable and recognisable. The Croatian checkerboard symbol, featured on the tail, was further extended down the body of the aircraft, while the blue underbelly became white. However, to this day, the airline’s entire fleet has not been painted in the new livery. The new visual identity will only be featured on the carrier’s incoming fleet of fifteen A220 jets, as the company will become a single-type operator. Aircraft currently utilised by the airline will be returned to their owners.

In 2021, Belgium’s national carrier Brussels Airlines revealed a new livery which bears an uncanny resemblance to that of Croatia Airlines. Commenting on its existing branding, Croatia Airlines said, “The design of our visual identity is recognisable both in Croatia and abroad and we are proud if it served as inspiration to other carriers with their own designs. It should be noted that in 2005 the company was the recipient of the international ReBrandTM award for our livery as judged by some of the world’s most respected experts in the field of design. In addition, in 2019 and 2020, the Croatia Airlines fleet was visually refreshed. The squares, as a recognisable symbol of Croatian national identity, were applied along the tail and the back of the fuselage while the size of the letters “CROATIA” were increased”.

    Hmm meanwhile they delayed the resumptiong of TIA by a week as well as the reduction on some other destinations. Seems like things are going from bad to worse in Buzin. Those A220s can't come soon enough guys.

      I think they will just have a former press presentation then. It is probably just before it goes into service.

      If plane is to be put in service directly from the paintshop, fine, but if they are to reveal the livery, it cannot be just before the plane goes to it's first service. Otherwise, it will already be "received" on the internet much before.

      No. They could hire a design company instead. But it would seem at least that the design department thr only one's doing a decent job and doing what they are supposed to.

    Can someone explain to me why for years the Croatian Airlines website has photos of these two ladies as cabin crew in a uniform that is not the OU uniform?

      I wrote about this a few weeks ago. Basically they did a photo shoot several years ago for some new routes they introduced with these two models. Back then they said how one day they hope to change the uniform to this. Of course it makes no sense that they are using it for their marketing for years (or ever since it is not their uniform).

      They don't have money for new uniforms. The leases for these planes are being paid through loans and undercover government support.

      I think current uniforms are just fine, they look ok to me, looked at noumber of other EU airlines and they are all pretty much similar in design and look. No need to change stuff that works just fine.

    I’ll take a wild guess: since the Chief of corporate design aka DesignUhljeb did close to nothing in her whole career with Croatia, I think new “design” will be just giant red-white kockica. Condor kind of style.

      Wouldn't be a bad thing at all. Condor's livery is very recognisable across Germany due to its uniqueness, and having your airline recognisable from far away is never a bad thing

    They should show new Logo after the next win game in Euros24
    Who they playing next game?
    Take the wave from that win and splash across media field the very next day.
    In the terms of design there is a lack of creativity around the world. Everybody plays safe and when you play safe the result is uninspiring.
