Virgin Atlantic in brand identity refresh - Marketing news - Marketing magazine

Joe Ferry, head of design for Virgin Atlantic, said: "It is essential that we set a firm, confident foundation for the future of the Virgin Atlantic brand, one which is relevant in the new commercial environment. It’s critical that we portray and live our differentiating brand values."
