Birmingham International Airport has unveiled its new corporate identity, created by a local ad agency. Seal Advertising created the identity, after in-depth research by Context Research International. The research showed travellers supported the retention of the airport’s existing name. Other names tested included Birmingham Airport, UK Central, Queen Elizabeth, Shakespeare and West Midlands. ‘Time and again Birmingham International Airport was the preferred option, with other choices being constantly rejected,’ says BIA managing director Brian Summers. The shorter name Birmingham Airport suggested downgrading, said travellers.
