AIRBORN

Design systems for legendary space stuff and logos that live on Mars.

Tiny But Mission Critical

AirBorn builds precision components for extreme environments, serving industries where failure isn’t an option, including aerospace, medical, defense, industrial, marine, and telecommunications.

More Than Pretty Pixels

A logo system needs to be versatile, recognizable, and built for every application they’ll encounter. For AirBorn, that meant designing with precision, scalability, and legacy in mind.

Designed for Engineers

Each product logo mirrors the pattern on the connectors, a choice made for an audience that values clarity over concept.

Versi logo with black and blue text and a dot pattern icon.
Logo for VERSID with a grid of black dots on the left and the word 'VERSID' in stylized blue and black text.
Microsoft logo with dotted design and the word 'Microsoft' in blue and gray letters.
MicroQuad logo with stylized black and blue text.
RII logo with black and blue text and graphic elements on a white background.
RC logo with stylized circuit board icon on the left, the letter R in black, and the letter C in blue.
FLEXX logo in black and blue text with stylized blue lines crossing the X.

Competitive Edge

The innovative HD4 and Z-Series (RZ) helped position AirBorn at the forefront of an evolving market. These connectors introduced patented solderless compression systems and high-density designs that delivered superior signal integrity where traditional connectors failed.

Logo with the text 'XOX HD 4' in black, blue, and gray, with a stylized power plug icon integrated into the 'XOX' part.

The name HD4 is high density with four contact points inside the socket, a major feature and differentiator of this connector and contact system.

AirBorn Z solderless compression connectors are used under the most extreme, high-vibration applications such as missiles and helicopter turrets.

Honoring Legacy

With decades-long employees deeply invested in the brand, the designs respect AirBorn’s legacy. By aligning with their priorities, we turned product engineers into design advocates.

The Final Frontier

The AirBorn connector series branding marries engineering precision with thoughtful design. Now these logos journey beyond Earth, etched onto connectors powering the Mars Rover make this *ahem* an intergalactic design system.
