Brand Voice
- Fueled by passion. Powered by people.
- Contour is a diverse company united by a love of aviation. In 1982, we were two employees and one airplane. Today, we are more than 300 team members and 30+ airplanes.
- Our integrity is never conditional. We work hard to earn the trust of our customers through clear and honest communication, and a commitment to safety above all else, but we aim higher. Clients do more than just trust us; they rely on us. The consistency with which we flawlessly execute our mission is at the heart of the Contour brand.

- Our principles are resolute. Our future is limitless.
- Contour is ambition in flight.
Brand Imagery
- With the exception of materials specific to Contour Airlines, we take a photo-driven approach. High resolution wide-angle photography is used to draw attention to the size and scope of our operations. Alternatively, close-in photography can be used to accentuate the fine details of aircraft and other aviation-related concepts in a more abstract manner. Stock photos of aircraft not currently in the Contour fleet are not permitted. Please contact the Contour marketing department to obtain photos of specific aircraft.
- Imagery should always be true to the product and/or service being provided. Embellishments, such as, lavish catering, limousines and race cars should never be used.
- For Contour Airlines, we used illustration as an extension on our brand. As a rule, we do not use pictures of aircraft or destinations in the marketing of Contour Airlines. The graphics are designed to highlight ticket prices and/or support awareness of the intangible aspects of our product: convenience, reliability and the friendly nature of Contour service.
