The Evolution of Airline Logos (European Edition)

In the past century we’ve seen air travel evolve immensely.
From how fast we can fly, to how far we can go, a lot has changed.
While a lot of our content has been on the aircraft themselves, in this video, we wanted to take you on a journey through time through the evolution of airline logos, starting with some European carriers…

Definitely found this interesting. Many more airlines I can think of that have gone through a few different logos both in the Us, Asia and Oceania (Qantas, United and JAL spring to mind)

[@jeremymarcel6640]

Great video as ever though I would like to point out that the "crevette" logo from Air France never left the scene and it is even back with the new "la crevette air france logo" that you can admire on some B777 A330 and A32F aircraft, as well as the come back of baptism name on the side of the aircraft. A great feature signed by Ben Smith him self (CEO of AFKLM) he can be proud of that, it's handsome!!

[@prestonsaviation8480]

Fantastic video! That was a really interesting topic! Could you please do logo evolutions for US airlines? Thanks!

Many logos (beyond airlines) are now driven by how clear they appear on mobile devices. In the future, I think we’ll look back at all these bold, borderless logos as being strongly identifiable to a point in time; similar to how some things are instantly recognisable as being from the 70s
