Braniff International Airways Paper Cup, 1965-1975
01
Artifact Overview
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.
