An "airsicknessbag" (in small type at the bottom). Looks like
Kenya Airways' typography department ran out of spaces. There's a star logo (the bag
maker's?) at the bottom left: the same logo appears in the side fold of the Eurowings bag. (1997) |

"For a clean feeling" proclaims this bag in 36-point type.
Fantastic! Let's all fly to Nairobi for a bath in a bag! Thanks to Hans Timmer.

Kenya Airways have gone from flat-bottomed to
pointy-bottomed, and now
make liberal use of spaces between the words, too: it's now "Air Sickness Bag".
Could someone on the KQ design staff have seen my comments about the
bag above?
This bag probably came from the ill-fated plane that crashed at Abidjan
in early 2000. I took the same flight from Nairobi to Abidjan three days
before the crash... (2000) |

Proof that it's worth sifting through your extra bags every now and
then (something I do whenever I have a spare moment). You might just
notice a gem among the rejects. I was riffling through my swap box when I
noticed this bag: a subtle variation on the one above. Same words, same
design, but a bolder typeface. (2001) |

No thumbhole, same design... but the crimping at the
base is vertical rather than horizontal.
Picky, picky... Thanks to Evelyn Mathias. (2002) |

Like the bag above, but with a thumbhole for easy
opening in an emergency.

Now they've gone back to block-bottom bags again. Confusing for
passengers, but a delight for bagophiles. Thanks to Ilse Köhler-Rollefson. (2003) |

Everyone (in Kenya, at least) calls Kenya Airways after its callsign, KQ.
Its designer has given in to popular pressure and has given the logo a
makeover to reflect this.
Stole this one myself. (2005) |
