Symbolism

From the Incheon website:

The city emblem is created by taking the Korean alphabet "o" and Chinese character meaning "stream" from the City's name and the shape of waves as the main motif. It represents endless motion and unlimited potential. Such motion is a symbol of the trade city where goods, services, and information are exchanged freely through the port and airport. It also provides a simple illustration of the future of Incheon in the 21st century as a gateway to the world, the center of Northeast Asia and the hub of the region.

Incheon International Airport

[Incheon International Airport] image by Randy Young, 9 July 2023

The roadway outside of the airport from Incheon to Seoul is lined with the national flags of countries that have service to and from Incheon. Along with those flags are the flags of the airport itself. The flag features the airport's logo centered on a white field. The logo includes swirling wisps of teal, blue, and gold in the rough shape of something with wings (presumably a stylized airplane), above the words "Incheon Airport" in dark letters along the bottom of the flag.
