How To Present Your Next Logo & Identity System w/Maxwell Billings

We asked talented designers from around the world to identify logos that they love to hate! In this episode, we review Maxwell Billings’ unofficial redesign of the United Airlines company logo.

Should the refined, classic logo remain untouched or could it use an updated makeover? Let's check out Maxwell's research and process to see why he thinks United Airlines can step it up!

This unofficial logo redesign project and video is made for educational purposes. The Futur is not affiliated or sponsored by United Airlines.
