Regarding the AA rebrand, Massimo Vignelli responded via http://www.creativereview.co.uk/cr-blog/2013/january/vignelli-on-american-airlines
“It seems to me that there was no need for American Airlines to undertake such a change, but many people do not understand the difference between Design and Styling, and believe in change for the sake of change” according to Vignelli.

That Barry McGee mural is gorgeous. I walk by twice a day on my commute and it was great to see the daily progress while the piece was going up. He’s one of my very favorite artists.
