American Airlines - 1967
Designer:  Massimo Vignelli and
Heinz Waibl of
Unimark International;
Henry Dreyfuss (eagle)
Typography:  Helvetica
Launched:  1967

Originally the airline's logo was to only contain the red and blue “AA”. Due to insider controversy over the removal of the ever-present eagle symbol, a stylized one, designed by Henry Dreyfuss, was added.

1977–2013[]

In 1977, the eagle was simplified, removing its eye. The accompanying wordmark, now joined, began to be used more often with the symbol. It is one of five founding members of the Oneworld airline alliance; the other four being British Airways, Canadian Airlines, Cathay Pacific and Qantas.


2013–present[]

American Airlines logo 2013
Designer:  FutureBrand
Typography:  American Sans (custom-designed)
Launched:  January 17, 2013

Known as the 'Flight Symbol' — it contains the eagle, the star, and an 'A', with refreshed shades of red, white and blue. In 2013, American Airlines merged with US Airways but kept the American Airlines name, as it was the better-recognized brand internationally; the combination of the two airlines resulted in the creation of the largest airline in the United States, and ultimately the world.
