That would equally apply to any in-terminal branding but I'm not sure it's about selling anything or imparting information. If it were on/within the North and South building boundary, not only would arriving passengers see it as they approach, and (at risk of sounding like a media luvvy and obviously once the current issues are worked through) feel some kind of warm fuzzy feeling, passengers on landing and departing aircraft would also see it. And hopefully think it looked smart and that a decent company lives there

Name a tenant who given the opportunity to plaster their branding across their building wouldn’t do so. If you read the planning statement for T5, you’ll probably find the reason why external branding is tightly constrained

I must admit I hadn’t waded through the design and access statement for the planning application for T5 some 25 years or so ago before posting, perhaps a little remiss of me. I was just applying the same principles as for other airport terminals around the world in a fairly simplistic way.

Having heard some of the costs HAL a charged BA just to put the advertising decals on the transit train doors, I can easily see why they wouldn’t be able to afford external branding.
