British Airways Logo
The British Airways logo sets a deep blue (#075AAA) and a bright red (#EE3124) against white, with the wordmark in a custom serif lettering (Mylius) above the sweeping 'Speedmarque' ribbon. That ribbon, introduced in 1997 by Newell and Sorrell, is a direct descendant of the airline's older Speedbird device that goes back to Imperial Airways. For approved artwork, head to the official British Airways media centre image library.

British Airways Logo History & Meaning
British Airways was formed in 1974 and its current identity dates to 1997, when the design consultancy Newell and Sorrell created the 'Speedmarque' ribbon that sweeps below the wordmark. The Speedmarque is a stylised reworking of the older 'Speedbird' and 'Speedwing' devices that trace back to Imperial Airways, giving the airline a thread of continuity across decades. The flowing red-and-blue ribbon is meant to suggest movement, flight and the colours of the Union Flag, signalling the airline's British identity.
