Lufthansa is the flag carrier of Germany and one of the largest airlines in Europe. It is the flagship airline of the eponymous Lufthansa Group. In 1997, it co-founded the Star Alliance, the oldest and largest global airline alliance, which is headquartered in Frankfurt where Lufthansa has its largest hub (though Lufthansa itself is headquartered in Cologne).

Lufthansa refreshed its 1963 brand on 5 February 2018, balancing out the crane icon, thinning the circle and changing the typeface from Helvetica to a custom corporate font. The new logo was designed by Ronald Wild, and the typeface was designed by Hannes von Döhren.

Significantly, the Lufthansa Yellow colour was demoted to a secondary swatch and removed from the aircraft livery, which has an all-blue tailfin, though it is still used as the secondary colour.
