Flag on Wings, Flag on Rails
Look up at American airplane’s tail, and you’ll often see the flag’s canton shining against the sky. Airlines use it not just for branding but to convey a promise: safe passage under the protection of a nation. On the ground, station concourses borrow the same motif on signage, seating, and even the directional arrows on the floor. These design choices do double duty—helping you navigate while reinforcing a silent agreement: here, we travel freely because we stand together. Even the most hurried commuter feels it: a subtle nudge to remember that every journey is tied to the ideals of unity and liberty that the flag represents.
