Since its the Koninklijke Luchtvaart Maatschappij, I think it has that crown in its logo to represent the Royal Warrant by the Dutch royal family. It's been there since I far as I can remember.
I've been flying KLM since I was 15 months old,and I don't remember any other logo except the blue KLM on a white background. So if they've changed it, it would have to have been done in the past two years.
@ err the crow has ALWAYS been there... and this particular crown design with the cirles/little balls has been in place since 1961 Now I wouldnt ccall that recent..
It is the same year the lettertype became what we know today. But the logo wasnt even lightblue untill 1991.
But most importantly, showing the KLM part would be telling wouldnt it. Ofcourse they wont show that part.
Your comment is like saying for the British Airways; As far as I can remember it has been "British Airways" blue letters against a white background. yes the name is included in the logo, but the name IS not the logo.
And that's funny, because even as a European who never went to the USA, I know like pretty much eveybody around here that this heart symbolize the love that the company gives to their customers or something like that, and that's an unmistakable clue.
I don't fly often and have never used their company. Their planes stand out because of the bright paint colors, but I don't remember ever seeing this heart logo before.
I don't really understand the purpose for that comment.There are only two US carriers shown and one is the largest airline in the world. The other while smaller is still partnered with many of the world's largest carriers, so the logo should be familiar to most travelers. I've been out of the airline business for a while now, but I think the logo for Iberia may be out of date. It probably doesn't matter though since that one is most likely still remembered.
How can you not know the purpose. If you havent flown with an airline, it is quite probable you don;t know it. I am pretty sure you don;t know about the bus companies we have in my country, why? Because you are not from here.
Even with only two American airlines on here, and those being the 1st and 3rd largest carriers in the world, I knew that there would be some ignorant comment like this somewhere, with 4 or more likes on it. Very telling.
And you always jump on it. Very predictable. The answer was given to a specific question about why only 28% of people know Southwest Airlines, which, to most non-Americans is not a known brand. Sifhraven (above) provides the succinct perspective.
If "we ain't all American" is a valid response to this comment, would that mean 94% of the visitors to this site are Canadian? And nearly 10% have viginti-citizenship allowing them to get all 20 answers correct? Pretty amazing.
The Canadian logo is pretty obvious as it is a maple leaf whereas Southwest may be a big carrier in terms of numbers but nearly all of those are on domestic flights. I got it because I had heard of them somewhere and guessed but there is no disputing the fact that most of us outside of the US would not have seen the logo anywhere. That does not make it bigoted
The complaint is asinine, and, yes, clearly coming from a place of spite and bigotry. Many people haven't seen many of these logos. The fact that Southwest is the 4th largest carrier in the world is significant and relevant. It means that you are, in fact, significantly more likely to have seen that logo before and flown with the airline, whether you are American yourself (as the plurality of visitors to the site are), or simply flew to any of the 42 states, one dozen countries, or handful of territories SW has flights to. Most people here have used maybe 2 or 3 of these airlines. But you only ever see complaints about American things showing up on quizzes. Nowhere on the site are complaints about things from the UK, or Turkey, or Thailand being impossible to know. The British Airways logo is just as generic. Thai Airways carries about 50x fewer passengers than Southwest does every year. See any complaints about those? Ever stop to wonder why?
kal, this has all originated because somebody expressed surprise at the low percentage that knew Southwest and somebody else commented that it may be because non-Americans would be unfamiliar with it (although perhaps in a way that has inflamed some). I cannot see that there are complaints about the inclusion of an American based airline, just some explanations why it is not known worldwide. I agree that there are many comments on here bemoaning the number of questions or answers relating to North America but I didn't agree that this was one of them. There was certainly no offence intended on my part
KataJ's comment is exactly what I said it was. There's no reason to object to or argue against this fact. I wasn't offended by what you said. You're just mistaken.
Let's fix things up a little. First ok all, Thai Airways isn't Thai Airways, it's Thai Airways International. Also, it is KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and not just KLM
Seen people say about the number of passengers for Southwest Airline, but people from the USA take a lot of flights and a lot of flights domestically, so there's little knowledge globally.
Nice quiz! Just one thing (as some have pointed out already): The Iberia logo is way out of date on not recognizable to anyone who started flying after 2013 :-)
It is the same year the lettertype became what we know today. But the logo wasnt even lightblue untill 1991.
But most importantly, showing the KLM part would be telling wouldnt it. Ofcourse they wont show that part.

Actually "NZ" for all quizzes containing New Zealand please.

That's what planes are supposed to do.
If anything, they should be afraid of crashing.
