Description
Braniff International Airways "Flying Colors" Flight Bags (Four), Girard-Era. A bold and visually cohesive set of four vintage Braniff International Airways "Flying Colors" flight bags, produced during the airline's transformative End of the Plain Plane branding era. Rendered in vivid monochromatic hues, Emerald Green, Ultra Orange, Signal Red, and Powder Blue, each bag prominently features the stylized vertical "Braniff International" wordmark paired with the iconic "Flying Colors" slogan. Constructed in durable vinyl with dual carry handles and zipper closures, the bags exemplify Braniff's immersive design philosophy, extending its radical color identity beyond aircraft exteriors into passenger accessories and promotional merchandise. The typography and layout reflect the modernist aesthetic introduced under the creative direction of advertising pioneer Mary Wells Lawrence and designer Alexander Girard beginning in 1965.
