Design Challenge: Airline Logo WHILE FLYING with them

[@BlakeAStoffel]

Not to aviation nerd too much but what you pointed out are actually referred to as “canoes” or flap track fairing extensions. They house the mechanisms used to extend the flaps. The static wicks are the little tiny wire or antenna looking things attached to them. Cool logo though! Hope they adopt it!

[@MauriceMoves]

Thanks for the knowledge/correction 🙏 Pinning your comment to fight my accidental misinformation 😖😅

[@BlakeAStoffel]

@@MauriceMoves I would make many mischaracterizations like that in your area of specialization. If it makes you feel any better I had to go to the manuals to find the real name! 😂

[@next_rabbit_hole]

Fun idea! Looks like a coffee cup or burrito to me - but I love the idea of the plane window negative space "E"

[@ropro9817]

Wow, I know nothing about graphic design so it was fun to watch Maurice nerd out on this logo design exercise. 🤠

[@Farbar1955]

I've been a graphic designer and artist for over 35 years and I actually learned a thing or two from your exercise. Thanks! You're also right in that these designs/logos can take hours/days/weeks to work out and it looks like something you did on a restaurant napkin! I've gotten lost in a design that I love but something isn't right. When I figure it out I feel greatly relieved, thinking this shouldn't be this hard but it is. But I get great satisfaction from it.

[@MauriceMoves]

Thanks for watchin' - and coming from a 35+ year designer, gives me motivation to keep learning. The more I look at this design, the more I see that's wrong with it, haha

[@chrystaltuckness5298]

This was so interesting! Thank you for taking us through your process!

[@ChillyNuts4u]

Ngl it just looks like an odd coffee cup to me, but i enjoy theprpcess nonetheless, id like to see more of this kind of thing

[@easypeasy3140]

This is insane! KZbin suggested a video about someone finding the exact spot where your dad took a picture. I watched it, liked it, and then noticed he pinned your comment on the video. Out of curiosity, I clicked on your KZbin profile and realized you actually post videos and it's not just a personal account! As I'm checking your videos roughly, the word 'logo' in the title of one of your videos jumped on me because my eyes trained to see that word since I'm a brand identity designer(self-taught). Given that your channel didn't seem about graphic design, I assumed it might be a generic logo sketch or something. But wow, I was surprised by the depth of your creative process. The execution of the logo might not be perfect, but your thinking is on point! What a crazy coincidence! I hope you manage to take your picture in that spot and good luck.

[@cordoesart]

Literally exact same!

[@elizabethwhite4606]

Maurice, if I were the head of marketing of EVA AIR, I would immediately arrange a meeting with you. Your logo and design looks ready to go. Great work!

[@MauriceMoves]

Haha... thanks for the vote of confidence, ALTHOUGH, now that I look at it, it reminds me a bit of burrito 🌯😅 Don't get me wrong - burritos are basically my third favorite calorie-delivery system, but maybe not GREAT for an airline 😜

[@elizabethwhite4606]

⁠​⁠@@MauriceMovesThe only thing that I saw was the airplane window and the capital E. I see a bit of a burrito since you mentioned it looking at the graphic and looking for the burrito! I still believe it looks great the way it is for EVA AIR, although you could tweak it slightly so that you would be happy with it, no burrito vibes.🙂 Definitely would hire you to replace their current graphic. Thank you for your always great videos.

[@spikenikistan75]

@@MauriceMoves I'm already theorizing about how the burrito livery would look on EVA's fleet =)

[@elypso_]

Love this! I'm a User Experience Designer and I've been doing graphic design in general since I was 15 and let me tell you the amount of times I look at something and go "I should redesign that" is too much lol. So cool to see you do this exercise, looks great!

[@PackingLess]

Great design Maurice, but it kind of looks like a takeaway coffee cup and when you showed it on the check in counter it looked like a take away coffee pickup point

[@MauriceMoves]

Haha... I was just thinking to myself that it looks like a burrito 🌯 Either way - coffee, or burrito... definitely doesn't belong on my favorite airline's wing...... back to the drawing board 😅

[@cloud8creative]

Love your vids and totally resonate with your process. So happy to know I'm not alone, and appreciate your candor. I can't unsee the coffee cup in the mark though. Still love it 😊

[@pixlplague]

"Non-professional graphic designer"... you're already better than many in the industry now lol!

[@decimusplancus7542]

@Maurice - love your videos and explanations of your thought processes but this one is OFF THE CHARTS AWESOME. Thanks for sharing!

[@JaKi052]

that was cool! pretty neat to see you whip that deign up in real time and how tweaking happens...good final product as well though i think would be more suitable for a budget or low cost EVA airlines as it looks fun and punchy. Safe travels !

[@gabby8720]

Always fun, Maurice. Thanks for the entertaining video.

[@BunchiMajul]

Maurice, I don't normally comment on videos, I just enjoy them and then go to the next one. But your narrative, train of thought and aesthetics always blows my mind. I'm always trying to improve my life (with little to no effect😂) but if I could choose how to view the world and my work, I would love it to see them like you do. I'm not a designer but I work in communications and I use illustrator and Photoshop every day, and the copy and paste just in case a don't like the changes is la like a trade mark for me. Thank for the content and the lessons. Cheers from Argentina (sorry for my English)

[@transformerpro7489]

If you used the airplane window icon to fully replace the "E" in EVA AIR it would be perfect

[@unsolvedtruths]

No joke the old logo looked way better.

[@crystalpurvis7389]

That was pretty cool how you came up with that logo. I hope they pay you well when they accept it and start using it 😊 (hopefully someone sees this and gets it to the right people) I like to be optimistic.

[@MaddSketchonline]

I like your initial idea for it. They definitely would benefit with a new branding for sure. Great design discovery!

[@2nd2LastUnicorn]

Haven't been to your channel since you were "Get it Together"- really cool to see how much you've expanded! Somehow I didn't realize you were design inclined! This video hooked me back in. Would love to see more of your impromptu designs. Even if you don't consider yourself a professional, one of your advantages is bringing that fresh perspective that learning something too technically crushes out of you! Pros and cons of both. As a freelance designer I think your logo idea is great. I loved seeing your process and the different ways you branched off.

[@MauriceMoves]

Oooo... an O.G. get it together-er 🙏 Thanks so much for watching again!

[@plausible.deaniability]

wowowow your videos never cease to amaze me

[@plumairalbannach8492]

Very clever design, was thinking you were going to add a sky blue background with a cloud or two, that’s why I am doing the watching and not the creating!

[@monopoly5496]

Enjoy that future trip to Taiwan to honor your dad. Thanks for the entertaining video!

[@AlexMakesGames80]

Fascinating video, seeing the process of a designer make a logo. Design process isn't really shown off in youtube much

[@freerkderuiter8822]

Great job on the logo, Maurice. Much improved to what it is now. I've never used Eva Air, but I have good experiences with Singapore Airlines. I entered the giveaway, fingers crossed 🤞

[@Jlynn197]

Great video. And great way to do a giveaway too.

[@Cafefei]

Before watching the video i took a sec to skim through the video and honestly if the text was not there I wouldn’t know what your logo would be for. At first it looked like a bit of a trash can to me then I thought it was a tea cup to represent drinking tea on the plane? Not until I watched the video fully it was a plane window. I personally like the original graphic better because I straight away know it’s a plane however you knocked the text out of the ball park especially the star on the i and the colour use.

[@Andy-4342]

EVA Air is AWESOME!!! I love flying with them anytime I am flying to Pacific destinations. Cool logo! 👍

[@SamFigueroa]

That window logo reminds me of a döner from a fast food shack in Turkey.

[@007KrausBean]

The logo looks like a cup of coffee to me.

[@DisSpain]

Does anyone know the brand of protective wrap he has on his Mac? He discussed it in another video, but I can’t find it.

[@devilishgenius]

What's the pen clip you use for your notebook?

[@louibeans]

Hi Maurice! I really like what you did there with the E and the airplane window. On another note: I don't know if you have OCD or not, but unfortunately this term for a mental illness has been popculturalized in the last decades. The way people are using this term inflationary actively contributes to washing out the meaning and adds to the stereotypes people have about OCD. I know there's no I'll intention here and you might actually have OCD. But I just wanted to leave a thought on casually using terminology from the field of psychology and the damage it can do.

[@MTD156]

If you fly first class you have to pay me to watch your videos😂

[@tonycosta3302]

The logo looks like a cup of coffee.

[@_thndr_lol6125]

Ok the check-in looks like a Döner fast food stand

[@GC12345]

You’re right. EVA has a horrible logo. Nice job on the redesign. If I were designing it I would have used the star as the hole on the A in AIR instead of over the I.

[@MauriceMoves]

Oooo... that's a cool idea ⭐️🅰️ir

[@terencemorrissey4413]

Cool

[@TReizC]

Gotta ask what inks you're currently using hahaha

[@rheso1]

I scrolled all the way to the end so I wouldn't get persuaded one way or another towards a specific design element, and, sorry, but that logo looks like a bear swiped at a cup of hot chocolate.

[@TheRealSimeon]

I like it.

[@karenfair7799]

Impressive

[@thejonco]

looks like an eco coffee cup

[@Caz_snaps]

I loved the logo redesign, it was simple but effective it what you tried to achieve! I also want to applaud the use of time on the plane and for most they would watch a movie, sleep or play some games!

[@yablonskii]

looks like a burito

[@jackdo4ms]

Great video, as always! But sorry, bro, logo looks like meat in doner kebab store :D

[@verykeen2please]

i like EVA too

[@montyv3909]

Please send it to EVA Air and see what they say

[@robertgrenader858]

Send your graphics package to the CEO and offer to redesign the total package.

Fonts are much improved, but it has a bit of a trash bin vibe. Its really close though!

Flap track fairings (which do house jack screws, carriages, gearboxes, and components for hydrologic actuators)

[@MauriceMoves]

Uh Oh... someone said they're called canoes (I pinned their comment)... lol... which one is it? Jack screws? Flay track fairings? Canoes?

[@aklmad]

​@@MauriceMoves hi Maurice! They're Flap track fairings to be exact.

I usually love your videos, but I gotta say… this was the most boring video I’ve ever watched.
