Here's to the hope that the soft power of AvGeeks overthrows this American tyranny. Something like that...

The new American Airlines logo will be hated by everybody for its sleekness, and the new typography for its blandness. But that's how it goes with any big design change, especially an iconic high profile one as AA.

"We're trying to create a conversation with our next best customer." That's AA's rationale, which if done well, could be a smart move long term.
