Brand identity

United Airlines

2017

Little needed to be said about consumer perceptions of United Airlines. But with a recent change in leadership, as well as a renewed emphasis on customer experience, United Airlines had a great opportunity to reclaim its position as the world's leading global airline while redefining the brand's relationship with customers and employees.

Most leading global airlines have a strong affiliation to a particular country. With a name like United, the airline feels particularly positioned to be a truly global airline. The word, United, also comes with a beautiful meaning of its own. People are different, regardless of where they're from; United brings people together.
