American Airlines Branding Takes Off

It’s first facelift in over 45 years

Futurebrand has been challenged to visually modernize one of America’s most iconic brands.
American Airlines has unveiled this new Visual Identity. There was no doubt any change for a brand of this scale and history would be met with some polarizing opinions. Those conversations however, are creating one incredible side effect: Brand Awareness.
Futurebrand has done a marvellous job executing. Now, it belongs to the customers. What will they think.

What do you think?

Is it enough to re-energize the brand in this competitive landscape?
I suppose time will tell.
Start a conversation about wherever you like.
American Airlines is a brand that has stood the test of time. However, they knew that in order to move forward they had to bring their branding ahead as well.
This is no easy task for a brand this size. Especially when you break down the details required.
Rather than critique it. I’ve decided to let it prove itself. I’ll reserve judgement after it’s customers and employees have had time to adjust to it.
