Liverpool John Lennon Airport branding takes off

[lampie1970]

Liverpool John Lennon Airport will officially unveil its £1.6m design and branding enhancements tomorrow, designed by Broome Jenkins.


Funded by the North West Regional Development Agency, the Air Portal Initiative is intended to create a ‘positive first impression’ for visitors to Liverpool, particularly during its reign as European Capital of Culture this year.


Broome Jenkins managed the project and designed the Liverpool 08-branded seating areas in the airport.


Broome Jenkins commissioned illustrator John McFaul to create a 300m-long mural for the airport, column wraps for the baggage hall and seven shuttle-bus wraps.


The consultancy also contracted River Media to create a welcome video that will appear on plasma screens installed in the shuttle buses.


These elements will be unveiled ahead of the opening ceremony for the Capital of Culture, which takes place next weekend.

this is a reason why I like this site...I learn things I didnt know about my favorite band (and here I thought I knew everything..*slaps self in face*) I had no idea there was a "John Lennon" airport project in the works for Liverpool...(but then,it stands to reason) Nice gesture from the city. Did they name anything after Ringo yet ? (unless it's a posthumous honor) lol
