Pan-Am's Flight Cool: A vintage brand archive #panam

My first flight was on a Pan Am plane in the 1970's - the experience left a permanent mark on me and I still get butterflies when I stare at the classic round, blue logo and all the travel-based promise it encapsulates. I've collated an archive about Pan-Am from mainly the 50's to the 70's. It includes the designers favourite 'Pan Am's World' poster series, the amazing membership cards to Pan Am's First Moon flights Club from Robert Venditti's site (his dad was a member), lots of vintage illustrative adverts and the inclusion of the classic safety card and more...enjoy! (If you like PanAm then you'll like the Swissair post too: http://kathykavan.posterous.com/vintage-swissair-posters )

A Retro pick and mix - on the Retrofuturs blog

 

You never know what you'll find on the Retrofuturs blog, it shows a real mixed bag from the last couple of centuries. Stéphane uses some of these as the basis for his design and illustration - here are some of my favourites from the blog... http://retrofuturs.posterous.com/

I ♥ Retro Galt Toys Branding

 

I always vaguely remembered Galt toys as graphically cool from when I was a kid, and on searching today for them I wasn't disappointed. They seem to sum up an aspect of 70's design that is part of my subconscious, like the original Star Wars toy branding which still makes my heart jump when I see it (hmm, maybe that should be another blog article?) - they're muted 70's Galt palette, clear modernist typography, playful layout, type, illustration & photography all feel quirkily European and have a quality of Paul Rand about them (see http://www.paul-rand.com/index.php/site/gallery/ )
