General / Off-Topic Why is Frontier globe showing the Americas?

[D'Kaeth]

I like Frontier and I also like the Americas (being a resident and all). But I guess I don't see why a company in the UK with a globe in their logo doesn't have said globe highlighting the British Isles.

Not trying to offend anyone. Just curious. Thanks.

Because North America is the most recognizable continent on the planet.So, people will instantly recognize it as Earth.

Ironic? Not ironic? hmmmm

I've always felt that Africa is the most recognisable landmass on the planet, but I suppose it may be a somewhat subjective discussion.

I would have thought Africa too... or the Med area with the distinctive shape of Italy.

Precisely to show that Frontier is international and goes beyond the borders of

Good thinking. Or it could be a hark back to when the Americas were the new world, the frontier. I guess we could ask an employee?

Not to forget also that Frontier is present in Canada

Well, as it's 18:30 on a Saturday I doubt we'd get an answer until Monday. As for me I'm going to get the Dr Who snacks ready.

The logo Frontier does not fly away. He will be here for a long time

I know of course. But they are in direct contact with the staff

Not here in Blighty - it's a Public Holiday today.

Speaking as a Moderator on another company's public forums... Over there we don't have direct contact with the staff, unless they are people we actually know out of the work/company situation.

We do however have direct contact with the forum admin/manager and they can pass over things to the staff if required

In all cases, the link can be made

Thank you! No bad intention or irony in my post, however

But doesn't the globe itself accomplish that? Why the need to center it on a different country?
