 The Last Word
JAL has a record of excellence for safety, service and efficiency. Its logo is a crane with wings that create a circular motif. It was designed in 1958 by a San Francisco creative director who was studied the crests of Samurai families for inspiration. The logo can be seen in connection with Japan’s national football team and the Japan Football Association as Japan Airlines is an official sponsor of both.
