Nigerians react to news Nigeria Air logo was designed in Bahrain | BellaNaijaIt was revealed on Friday that the logo of the recently-announced national carrier Nigeria Air was designed by a company in Bahrain.

The logo features a ribbon in the Nigerian colours of green and white, with a slight optical illusion to make it look like an eagle. It’s completed with the words “Nigeria Air.”

The company, FROM6 Communications, shared a video confirming that they indeed handled the branding of Nigeria Air

What’s interesting is that the company had on July 18th, shared the video, writing:

Very proud to showcase our most recent Airline branding project, Nigeria Air. ??✈️Nigeria’s new flag carrier which was unveiled at Farnborough Airshow this week.#ImageAndTime #AMG #NigeriaAir

Following the backlash that came with the discovery, the company deleted that post and published another Friday, July 20th at about 9pm saying they worked with a Nigerian marketing agency Image & Time. They wrote:

In conjunction with Nigerian marketing agency Image & Time and Airline Management Group (AMG) Transaction Advisors for the new National Flag Carrier, we are very proud to showcase our most recent Airline branding project, Nigeria Air. ??✈️Nigeria’s new flag carrier which was unveiled at Farnborough Airshow this week.#ImageAndTime #AMG #NigeriaAir

Nigerians on social media have reacted to the news. Awarding the contract to a company in Bahrain is contradictory to the “Buy Nigerian to Grow the Naira” campaign the Federal Government has been running.
