How it started

2012-2018

The first logo consisted of bold, stylized text. The letter "G" was stylized to resemble an arrow. The large "2GO" was written in magenta, while the word "TRAVEL" appeared in a smaller, handwritten-style font below it, also in magenta.

2018–present

2GO revised its logo to a much simple and cleaner design. The word "TRAVEL" is placed below the "2GO" portion in all capital letters, in a slightly smaller font but still bold and magenta.

2018–present (secondary logo)

This secondary 2GO Travel logo is still identical to the primary logo but the "TRAVEL" text seen in the primary version is removed.

Livery history

2GO's livery has undergone many changes throughout its history. Despite differences in the design, all of their ships were predominantly painted with their company colors: white and magenta.

2012–2019

Their first livery is composed of an all-white color dominating the ship with the funnel and the waterline painted with magenta. The sides of the hull featured the "2GO Travel" branding as well as the company's signature logo, a large stylized letter "G" painted near the bow and on the funnel. The decks were painted light blue.

A special version of this livery was briefly used on one of their vessels, MV "St. Ignatius of Loyola". This special livery featured a wave-like shape on the bow and on the stern, with several shapes of birds, ball, star, and maskara and added to the bow, and the stern section featured the phrase "Sarap Maglakbay! (traveling is fun!)". It was called the Boracay Funship Livery

2019–present (S Series)

2GO revised its livery during this time to a much cleaner and simpler design. Although similar to its previous livery with the ships featuring an all-white livery dominating the hull and the superstructure, the funnel, which was previously painted magenta, is now painted in white. The "2GO Travel" branding which was previously seen on the hull was revised to feature only the word "2GO" and is now also painted on the funnel. The large letter "G" at the bow was removed, making the livery much simpler. The waterline and the deck retain their original colors.

In 2023, a new version of this livery was unveiled; it is identical to the old livery except for the addition of a large wave-like figure on the bow and stern mimicking the 2021 livery used by the newer 2GO ships. It was applied on the S Series vessels of 2GO.

This livery is currently used on all of the S Series vessels.

2021–present (M Series)

A new livery was unveiled in 2021 with the introduction of 2GO Maligaya, and later, 2GO Masagana. The livery was overhauled, giving the ships a more modern and festive appearance. Although still dominated with white and magenta colors, the livery features several colorful shapes scattered around the vessel representing 2GO's brand identity, core pillars, and values. The bow features a large wave-like figure painted in magenta with white stripes, with the vessels' names in a new font, painted in different colors akin to a rainbow. Future vessels will be painted with this version of livery.
