A global symbol as a beacon for safety and orientation.

The figurative component of the logo – the globe – is used prominently across all relevant touchpoints, designed to have a far-reaching impact essential for bridging large distances in the industry.

At the same time, it is elegantly and lightheartedly presented through the use of a thinner stroke size, ensuring it is both noticeable and refined.

Additionally, the core elements of the globe have been adapted as transition features for dynamic content and as indicators for key messages in visual materials. This approach results in a consistent brand appereance, giving the company a sharp and trustworthy profile across digital, physical, and cooperative platforms in all 22 countries.
