Original aircraft liveries. Visual identity of airlines and customization of airline planes and private jets. By Didier Wolff
I
studied at the Ecole Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Strasbourg and I
learned flying planes in the Aero club in Alsace in 1997. This is how I
naturally came to associate graphic design with aviation.
I am passionate about this activity and I now dedicate myself full time to it. +
more
Process in 3 phases
1.
I conceive and propose customized designs that answer to my clients’
most strict requirements, in line with the Aircraft manufacturer’s recommendations.
The
external decoration of a private jet is dependent on the owner’s desire
to reveal an aspect of his personality or to impose his company’s
character or image it is therefore imperative to have a good
understanding with him. Hence, my role requires to listen
attentively because this will determine the nature of my artistic
proposals. This way I am sure to fulfill any requirements, regardless
of how high they are :
The
image is applied to a volume such as fuselage and it’s like a second
skin that would be delicately laid on the body. It can be dynamic,
discreet and light, strong and colored; multiple combinations are
possible. Aesthetics and balance are the only norm.
Consequently, present owners or future buyers as well as airlines
wishing to acquire a new visual identity in order to distinguish
themselves from their competitors, are assured that I implement
customized exclusive creations.
It is to be noted that some components of the aircraft are to accept marking techniques, others cannot be painted without special precautions, for instance, the door frame of an airline plane or private jet, the nose and gills of most fighter planes. In addition to international standards, each plane has its own specifications. So knowingly, and in partnership with an outstanding aeronautical engineering office, I make proposals for exclusive, customized and passionate designs.
Didier WOLFF
My services are divided as follows:
- 3 proposals in line with the brief given by the owner. Approval of one of these proposals.
- Then 3 proposals are developed in line with the determined orientation.
Final approval and finalizing the proposal. Timeframe: 21 to 31 days.
All schemes are confidential and given to the owner, in the form of a
3D fixed multi-angle high resolution in addition to a one minute high
definition animation per scheme, i.e. a total of 9 minutes.

>Following this presentation, any modification is subjected to an hourly fee.
For all contracts, payment of 80% upon placing the order and the balance to be paid a weed prior to delivery.
I am ready to travel and meet with you when given 48 hours notice (See general terms elaborated in our correspondence).
2 - Transfer of maps to an aeronautic engineer: my partner AEROCONSEIL (See following chapter).
Map : Perceptual
mapping. Graphic representation in line with a multi dimension
orientation, used to position components in relation with one another
and in relation with other components. These are the components I develop and I then apply on a 3D-HD model with high polygonal density.
After
the creative phase, painting the body of a plane requires a specific
technical sketch (Blueprint) to be carried out by the engineer.
A blueprint :
is a spatial representation of an object, depending on one or
more points defined as per standards of industrial design (face
view, right side, left side, bottom, top, rear). Blueprints are used,
among other things, by three dimensional model developers to model
based on a reference respecting the scale of the object at hand.

The technical design is then given to a company specialized in
aeronautic painting which paints the aircraft within two to three
weeks. Needless to say, the owner may choose to commission the company
of his choice to paint the jet. However, wherever the plane is located,
we are able to recommend a number of specialized companies in Europe,
Asia and the Americas. Painting time: two to four weeks.

How to make a military jet Happy and bright...
One company making a colorfoul impact at AIME was Happy Design Studio. The French company has the creative ability to make an aircraft stand out from the rest visually. And Saudi-based aircraft engineering consultancy Arabian Jets plans just that as it signed an exclusive agreement with Happy to work on unique designs for military jets.
The French company was set up by Didier Wolff eight years ago. He started of designing surf boards until he decided to combine his creative skills with his passion for aviation a year back.
"In 1998 I learnt to fly a single-engine aircraft so, being able to personalise and customise aircraft with my design skills is a great joy for me," said Wolff.
"I can customize commercial airlines, private and military aircraft. The external decoration of a private jet is dependent on the owner's desire te reveal an aspect of his personnality or to impose his company's character or image. Customer can leave the design ideas to me or have their own ideas but, either way, I always have a good understanding with them".
Wolff works alongside engineering company Aeroconseil to ensure that EASA rules are applied to the engineering drawings and certification dossier. Wolff was at AIME following the success of his launch at the Dubai Air Show last year.
Happy Design Studio signs alliance agreement with Saudi Arabian jets
Posted on 1 March 2010 in Aircraft Interiors
Happy Design Studio signed an agreement with Saudi 's Arabian Jets yesterday at the show.
The French design company which conceives and customises liveries, visual identity will be making Arabian Jets stand out from the rest with its own unique designs.
“I am very excited to work with Arabian Jets and realise our achievements together,” says Didier Wolff who set up Happy Design eight years ago.
Arabian Jets is a premier aircraft engineering consultancy operating in the MENA region with its offices in Jeddah, Amman, and Beirut and Cairo.
“This region is important to us as there are so many private owners. Also, as a designer it is exciting as there is more scope for design and creativity,” says Wolff.

Happy Design makes your aircraft stand out in a crowd Dubai Air Show / November 17, 2009
By: Thierry Dubois
Didier Wolff, owner and sole employee of the Happy Design Studio from Strasbourg, France, is here in Dubai promoting his skills in designing original aircraft liveries and hoping to find his first customers in the region.
“For a long time, refrigerators could be found only in white,” Wolff pointed out to AIN, reasoning that aircraft–especially business jet–owners and operators will want more personalized paint schemes. Only a handful of business jets in the world have such bright-color and/or sophisticated drawings on their exteriors, he said. Also offered are paint schemes for airliners and fighters. “An aircraft can receive a special livery for a given occasion–a first delivery or a joint air force exercise, for example,” he said.
Costs for Happy Design Studio’s (Stand E650) services range from approximately $ ....., Wolff estimated, and can be more expensive depending on the aircraft’s size and scheme complexity. Wolff has an agreement with Aeroconseil, a Toulouse-based engineering company that helps him find the right shop for each paint job.
Dubai 09: Personalised design makes one man Happy Make your aircraft stand out from the rest with the help of Happy Design Studio (stand E650).
The French company was set up by Didier Wolff eight years ago. Wolff designed surf boards until deciding a year ago to combine his creative skills with his passion for aviation. He has chosen the Dubai air show as his launching pad.
"In 1998 I learnt how to fly a single-engined aircraft, so being able to personalise and customise aircraft with my design skills is a great joy for me," says Wolff.
"I can customise commercial airlines, private and military aircraft. The external decoration of a private jet is dependent on the owner's desire to reveal an aspect of his personality or to impose his company's character or image. The customer can leave the design ideas to me or have their own idea but either way I always have a good understanding with them."
The artwork created is applied to a platform such as the fuselage, which acts as a second skin that is delicately laid to the body.
Wolff works alongside engineering company Aeroconseil, which specialises in aviation and ensures that European Aviation Safety Agency rules are applied to the engineering drawings and certification dossier.
"They then recommend a workshop which specialises in aeronautic painting to add that grand finale of the splash of colour to the design. Wherever the plane is located a number of specialised companies can be recommended in Europe, Asia, the Americas and, of course, the Middle East.
"It is very exciting for me to be here and I look forward to meeting potential customers," says Wolff.
