Braniff Airliner with "Jelly Bean" Orange Livery Designed by Alexander Girard, circa 1965
Add to SetSummary
Braniff International Airways turned to architect-designer Alexander Girard when it refreshed its brand in 1965. Girard moved the airline away from its traditional color palette and toward bold hues like turquoise, orange, yellow, and blue. Girard's colors and themes spread throughout the company -- from the airplanes themselves, to ticket counters and waiting areas, to bar soaps and paper cups.
