PINNACLE AVIATION ACADEMY
HOW IT STARTED
We partnered with Pinnacle Aviation Academy, a career-focused flight school based at Palomar Airport, to elevate their brand identity and reflect their legacy of training professional pilots since 1997. After decades in the industry, the team was ready for a fresh, modern look that still honored their heritage. Pinnacle opted for the Mini Brand Design Package + Additional Merch Add-ons & Social Support. Together, we created a dynamic logo suite, aspirational messaging, and vintage-inspired visuals designed to resonate with the next generation of airline and corporate pilots & solidify Pinnacle’s reputation with aesthetics to match.
WHAT WE DESIGNED
We designed a dynamic, classic, aviation-inspired brand identity for Pinnacle Aviation Academy that balances heritage with a modern, career-focused edge.
The project included a symmetrical “PAA” monogram mark flanked by ‘wings’, a structured logo suite with collegiate and vintage aviation influences, and a color palette rooted in deep teal, sky blue, and coastal neutrals — reflecting both professionalism and San Diego’s landscape. We also developed screen print-style illustrations, badge graphics, and merch concepts to foster community pride among students and alumni. The result is a bold, aspirational brand built to inspire the next generation of professional pilots.
