LOGOS
Based on extensive customer research, United in 1997 adopted a new approach to serving its customers via the “Customer Satisfaction Philosophy.”   To illustrate this new, customer-focused attitude, United   commissioned Pentagram Design, Inc., to create a new graphic personality for the airline. Pentagram redesigned the logotype, retaining the classic “U” symbol originally designed by Saul Bass. As a fundamental recommendation, the symbol was coupled with the single word “United” set in a bold, sans-serif typeface to communicate confidence and strength. Pentagram also introduced the ”Sweep” which allows the United symbol to be used in a larger, more dramatic fashion, bleeding off the upper right portion of the page.

In 1998, the airline branded its classes of service with the names “United Firstsm,” “United Businesssm” and “United Economysm,” and launched a corresponding color scheme that extended to ticket wallets, menus and amenity kits. Pentagram continues in it's role as brand consultant to United and has since firmly established a brand architecture that governs the creation of additional brands and products as they come are developed.
