A deck celebrating Braniff Airways: the airline that turned air travel into a design statement.
Braniff International Airways operated from 1928 to 1982. In the 1960s and 1970s, under designer Alexander Girard, it became something unexpected: an airline that celebrated color, form, and visual culture. The planes were painted in bold colors. The uniforms and graphics were art.
These playing cards are not nostalgia; they are a case study in how design shapes identity. Faculty in design and business courses use them to talk about branding. Design collectors and mid-century enthusiasts buy them. They are beautiful objects in your pocket.
