The Boeing logo is a combination of the company’s name in text and a graphic symbol that includes a ring representing the Earth. It is diagonally crossed by an elegant curved line, and next to it is an elongated triangular shape with a smoothly inward-curved outline, which can be perceived as the silhouette of a flying airplane. This design was adopted after the merger of Boeing with McDonnell Douglas in 1997 and became a combination of the graphic elements of both companies. Since then, the logo has retained its recognizable appearance: the corporate blue color, the slanted font of the name, and the symbol reflecting the global scale and aviation focus of Boeing’s activities.
Boeing is an American manufacturer of airplanes, space, and defense equipment, founded in 1916 in Seattle by engineer William Boeing. Today it is one of the largest aerospace corporations in the world, producing passenger and cargo aircraft, military airplanes, rockets, satellites, and communication systems. Boeing’s headquarters is located in Arlington, Virginia, and the company’s products are used by civil airlines and government organizations worldwide.
