Japan Airlines Logos and Brands
The Japan Airlines section is dedicated to one of Asia’s oldest and largest airlines, founded in 1951. The JAL logo with the red “tsuru” crane has become one of the most recognizable aviation symbols in the world. In Japanese culture, the crane symbolizes longevity and prosperity, and its stylized image adorns the fuselages of the company’s aircraft on routes around the globe. This category focuses on the visual history of the airline, which emerged from bankruptcy in 2010 and was reborn with a revamped logo while remaining faithful to the crane motif.
