Deutsche Lufthansa is one of the most important airlines in the world. Just as long and varied as ist history is the history of its visual identity.
The beginning of the 1960s witnessed one of the most important developments in corporate communication. The company employed the designer Otl Aicher and his Gruppe E5 student group at the Hochschule für Gestaltung Ulm to develop a new visual identity for Lufthansa. Largely implemented beginning in 1963, today it ranks as one of the most groundbreaking corporate design solutions of the twentieth century.
With a particular focus on its famous corporate identity, the design and advertising history of Deutsche Lufthansa from the 1920s until today is comprehensively documented here for the first time. Alongside numerous illustrations from the corporate archive and background articles and interviews, this volume contains reproductions from the Ulm study of 1962 and the first corporate design manual for Lufthansa from 1963.

ルフトハンザは世界の中でも主要飛行会社だが、この会社自体の歴史と同じ程長く多様性に富んでいるのがヴィジュアルアイデンティティーだ。
1960年代初頭、デザイナーOtl Aicherとその生徒を起用し、新たなヴィジュアルアイデンティティーを制作した。現在ではこの大規模な試みは20世紀の企業デザインにおいてパイオニア的位置づけとされている。
本書はこの有名な企業アイデンティティにフォーカスし、1962年から現在までのルフトハンザにおけるデザイン、アドバタイジングの歴史を総合的にドキュメントする初めての試みだ。会社のアーカイブや過去の記事、インタビューより多くの図録と共に、1962年の構想から1963年のルフトハンザ初の企業デザインマニュアルを収録する。
