By evad // May 27, 2009

Here is a selection of vintage airline logos from the Museum of Flight's website which has 150 logos in their collection. The site also has an extensive collection of aircraft, spacecraft and artifacts. For more airline inspiration have a look at our post highlighting modern airline color identities.

This really was a neat post thank you...some of these look pretty basic to me while others look a bit busy.

They all do have the retro feel which is kind of cool. I liked the 2nd from the bottom: kind of a puma and bird combined.
