Good God, American Airlines. What have you done? https://skiftstaging.dev/2013/01/17/american-airlines-redesign-launching-today/ (I liked United's tulip logo, but this seems way worse.)Rob Pegoraro
@goMarielle @AmericanAir they're unveiling a new logo. Repainting the planes is nice, but I would be happier to see the DOT numbers improve.Christopher Elliott
