  Think I preferred Lizzie Grant.

  For me: Pout is Out!

  Gatwick need to scrub their airport parking building before spending money on new logos. Its so dirty

  The new Gatwick logo says to me, air turbulence/airsickness.

  • AJA says:

    Not quite turbulence but it does sort of look like a wingtip vortice, the circular patterns of rotating air left behind a wing as it generates lift.

    The wingtip is the white bit at the right and the green and the lighter blue are the vortices.

    The G makes me think of the roundabouts outside the South and North Terminals… and long Stay parking…
    …although you’d have to use them in the opposite direction of rotation.

    The waves remind me of the South Downs – the green coloured on representing the greenfield site they want a second runway build on…

    The little arrow on the G is vaguely reminiscent of the arrow on the old BAA logo, in that it’s an arrow pointing up and to the right. Is that what they mean by the history reference?

    The ‘G’ looks like the circular flight path over LGW when the landing slot has been missed.

    Otherwise it looks like a logo for a local authority recycling/rubbish tip located at London Gatwick.

  Can the Virgin discount be used over the phone, or online only? Got a load of covid credit still to use but it has to be done manually.

    Call and ask. You might find that the way that they process this is to have you book the ticket, and then they ‘fix’ it afterward by using your credit, so long as you call. But, don’t gamble – call and ask.

  The G (almost circle) represents the endless union strikes. Very befitting

    What strikes at Gatwick?

    I don’t recall any and if there were any they were some time ago.

  I’m guessing you can’t use the Virgin code for reward flight fees/when using an upgrade voucher for a reward flight in Upper?

  • Rob says:

    No

• Simon says:

  Granada TV (almost)

    Now you mention it 🙂

      Oh Rob, you’re a Yorkshire man.

      It’s the Yorkshire TV Chevron flying off at the start of 321!

        Bring back 3-2-1 with a comedian hosting, IAG Loyalty and Nurofen could jointly sponsor and give Avios on their pre-paid card.

          You could tell when their budget was under pressure because the clues became even more convoluted then when they felt it was time someone won something decent.

  • Richie says:

    28 Apr28 April 10:03

    Very close yes.

  If I was designing a new logo for Grundon skip hire and recycling, that’s probably similar to what I would have come up with.

  Anyone noticed that on Google Flights, that you have “Heathrow”, “London City”, and “Official London Gatwick”. I’m not entirely sure where the alternative unofficial London Gatwick is.
