Sri Lankan 'Monara'
SriLankan Airlines corporate logo features the peacock bird ('Monara' in Sinhala) and is considered a good Feng Shui motif and signifies growth, fame and abundance. The colors Green, Red and Orange adapted in the logo are in accordance with Feng Shui elemental analysis symbolizing wood and fire.
There was much animosity to the name change and new logo, in Sri Lanka and from Sri Lankan expatriates. 'Air Lanka' had proved to be a loved name amongst a large community who did not want it to change. Due to traditional folk lore and superstition, some Sri Lankan's believe that the new Sri Lankan logo, which shows the peacock flying away from the aircraft, would bring untold misfortune to the airline, as opposed to the old logo, which showed the peacock facing the direction of the aircraft in flight.
"In order to change the image, it was felt the airline needed a new name that truly reflected the country. So SriLankan Airlines comes with a modern fleet, a new look and an updated Monara (peacock) on the tails of the aircraft. The new logo reflects more graceful and flowing images of today as opposed to the rather angular and square designs of the 70s."
