Brand profile
About Airbus
Aerospace manufacturer
Airbus SE is a European aerospace corporation. Its main business is the design and manufacture of commercial aircraft, and it also has separate Defence and Space and Helicopters divisions.
The company originated in Airbus Industrie GIE, a consortium of European aerospace companies formally established on 18 December 1970 to build a wide-body airliner to compete with American-built aircraft.
Airbus SE is legally registered in Leiden, Netherlands, while day-to-day management works from its main office in Blagnac, France.
EADS, formed in 2000 by the merger of the consortium’s French, German and Spanish parent companies, was renamed Airbus Group in 2014. After merging with Airbus S.A.S. in January 2017, the combined company took the name Airbus SE in April 2017.

Design context
Logo design & typography notes
Airbus described the ball symbol of its 2010 logo as two sets of three curved lines that join at an imaginary horizon line, representing the union of its founding companies.
Wikipedia describes the symbol used by Airbus Industrie and Airbus S.A.S. as a stylised turbine, suggesting a jet engine, with lettering similar to Helvetica Black.
Airbus’s brand centre gives blue priority for the logo, specified as #00205b and Pantone 281C, with black and white variants for other backgrounds.
From the researched record (AI-assisted source review); see research sources.
Researched typography noteAirbus states that its logo is always displayed in a bespoke typeface called Airbus.
Logo lettering can differ from a brand’s corporate typefaces.
