Concorde | Brand, Web Design

Sam Cordell

Concorde is a New York-based aviation startup founded and designed by pilots, for pilots.
I joined the Concorde team to lead the brand design from the earliest concept through to launch. The brand needed to appeal to the emotions of a pilot, striking a balance between a passion for adventure and mid-century nostalgia for the golden years of aviation.
Unique design elements include "postcards" to communicate the brand journey, boarding pass-inspired membership tier cards and stylized illustrations to answer common user questions. These elevated skeuomorphic elements extend to all brand collateral, printed materials and email + social campaigns.

Graphic Reference

Historical references sourced in physical and digital archives as early brand touchpoints

Imagery Reference

My personal film photography and archival images informed the look and continued through to the final site

Illustration Reference

1970s FAA safety publications served as reference for website illustrations
