The TATA-backed airline’s new livery and design are created with the perfect balance of aubergine, golden highlights, deep red, and a pattern inspired by chakra. Its new look is a beautiful reimagination of the iconic Indian window into a golden-coloured window frame. The Indian window was previously a part of Air India. According to a press release, this new design is a symbolisation of the ‘Window of Possibilities’.

The logo sees a change in this process of branding as well. India’s oldest airline is getting a logo that is designed with a modern touch and colours such as golden, red, and purple have been used. As shared in the press release, this new logo is ‘The Vista’. Inspired by the peak of the gold window frame, this new logo symbolises ‘limitless possibilities, progressiveness, and the airline’s bold, confident outlook for the future’. FutureBrand has designed the new look of the airline.

Not just changes in design and branding, the airline is also getting ready to introduce a new website, an app, and a lot more. We just need to wait now to see all the launches in the upcoming years.

Had high hopes on the new Air India livery since it’s the same agency which rebranded FIJI air and had done an excellent job but the new Air India livery is too simple and ugly SMH #AirIndia #India pic.twitter.com/iaRNwcSaWZ

Air India Sans. Turbulence for your eyes.

I like the logo, sleek. The livery tends to put one off at first as it’s seen mostly like a medley/plane having played Holi.
What struck me was the tail livery extends beyond the tailfin and that creates a visual disturbance to the eyes. Not normally seen.#AirIndia pic.twitter.com/pftpdWXfX5— Sahil (@Im_SVee) August 11, 2023
This is not a brand makeover, but a bland makeover.
