Logo Redesign

I've relied on Brand New  (http://www.underconsideration.com/brandnew) for quite a while as my resource for staying up to date on the latest branding news. I think this is one of their most interesting posts in a long time...the rebranding of American Airlines.American Airlines has always had one of the most iconic logos out there. I would be willing to bet the majority of Americans would recognize it immediately...regardless of their feelings for the airline itself. So to improve upon the A (eagle) A that has donned their planes since 1968 is quite an achievement. And I think they've done it.Despite the arguably trendy gradients and shading, the basic form of this logo is an example of simplicity at its best. But that's just this guy's opinion.
