That aint Helvetica - don't know what it is though. I kinda like it, but it is a bit jarring as the original logo (that was Helvetica) is such a classic icon.

Not Futura, it's nowhere near geometric enough. Akzidenz would be my next guess but the lowercase A is wrong. Hard to say.

Can't believe the logo or tail aren't mirrored on the winglet. I think it'll look better on the A320s though, smaller tail surface.

movax posted:Futura maybe? The a and the e look more Helvetica than Arial though, for sure.  It's definitely a variant of Arial, but seems to mix glyphs from the standard and unicode sets. I doubt they've got the wherewithal to have a typeface thrown together for this, so it's probably just some Arial variant I don't have on my computer right now.

They could also just edit parts of the font itself to make it look how they want it. Vectors are awesome.  Id guess Ariel as well.

Leviathor posted:737. Looking at the tail, it's definitely a 777. As for the logotype, they COULD, but their ad agency would want a full face if not a family for use in ads, and rather than going to a foundry like they're Apple or something, I'll bet they just flipped through one of the zillion Helvetica ripoffs until they found one with precisely the features they wanted.

It's Frutiger, some weight between 64pt 55 Roman and 64pt 65 Bold.  I don't know what's up with "Arial Hebrew," is it falling back to something other than Arial? AA's been on Helvetica since the '60s.

I don't want to interupt the graphic design chat (seriously), but this video keeps popping up in my youtube "related" video list, so I figure you all can enjoy it too. Vulcans over the Falklands. British as all gently caress https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40knj0qg_Us Cary on the typeface chat now.

Yo that new logo is terrible. The AA logo with the eagle was boss (shame about the airline, though).

Whenever I see that tail I keep seeing a piano keyboard. It's specially obvious/jarring on the airliners.net pic.

Skilled formation flying sure is impressive. (they're all at a visibly different angle from the other three, look at the stabilators and particularly the V-shaped gap between them)

Also, apparently they're giving rides in a QF-4, which is one of two flying F-4s scheduled to be at the show.
