- Download PNG Air India Logo PNG The flag carrier airline of India, Air India is headquartered in the country’s capital city, New Delhi.
- Air India serves slightly more than 100 destinations.
- 1946 While Air India was officially established in 1946, its roots can be traced back to at least fourteen years earlier, to a company named Tata Air Lines.
- The original name was replaced by the current one in 1946.
- It was then that the airline got its prominent centaur emblem, which was used for about 60 years.
- The centaur on the Air India logo was shooting an arrow in a circle, which symbolized the wheel of Konark (immense stone wheels from Konark Sun Temple).
- Both the emblem and the lettering below were given in red over the white background.
- According to the official history of the company, the centaur logo was chosen by the founder, J. R. D. Tata.
- Ever since, the air carrier has been using the livery combining a Flying Swan and the wheel of Konark.
- This time, the wheel is smaller and is placed inside the swan’s wing.
- There is now less breathing space between them.
- 2014 When the company became part of the Star Alliance at the end of the summer of 2014, its logo was slightly updated.
- The lettering “A Star Alliance Member” and the circular emblem appeared under the main Air India logo.
