Photo: Wikimedia Commons<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">A Logo Older Than the Airline<\/h2>\n\n<p>The Crane was designed in 1918 by Otto Firle, a Berlin graphic designer working for Deutsche Luft-Reederei. The airline became part of Deutsche Luft Hansa in 1926, then of the modern Lufthansa we know today after the post-WWII reconstitution in 1955. Through every reinvention \u2014 including the awkward years when Lufthansa was essentially a shell company between 1945 and 1955 \u2014 the Crane survived.<\/p>\n\n<p>The 1955-1988 version is the one most people in their 50s and older remember. It was big, heavy, in a shade of navy that stood out against the bright yellow tail. The 1988 redesign streamlined it. The 2018 redesign streamlined it further. Both made the airline more &#8220;modern&#8221; and less iconic. The retro A380 brings the bold version back at A380 scale \u2014 24 metres of tail surface \u2014 and the difference is striking.<\/p>\n\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">Why an A380?<\/h2>\n\n<p>Lufthansa retired its A380s in 2020 during the pandemic, then surprised the industry by ordering them back into service in 2023. Today the airline operates 12 of the giants out of Munich. They are the most photographed Lufthansa aircraft in the fleet, the most talked about, and \u2014 at 525 economy seats per aircraft \u2014 among the most profitable on the right routes.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" style=\"margin:0 0 24px\"><img data-opt-id=434499174  fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ml5psubhxdln.i.optimole.com\/cb:0e0_.b970\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/ig:avif\/https:\/\/migflug.com\/jetflights\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/05\/lufthansa-crane-logo.jpg\" alt=\"Lufthansa Crane logo\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;border-radius:6px\"><figcaption style=\"font-size:13px;color:#777;text-align:center;margin-top:6px;font-style:italic\">The Crane has been Lufthansa&#8217;s mascot since 1918 \u2014 older than the airline&#8217;s current name. Photo: Wikimedia Commons<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">A Year of Centennial Celebrations<\/h2>\n\n<p>Lufthansa Group has been quietly preparing for this anniversary for years. The retro A380 joins a smaller retro 747-8 (in 1972 livery), a heritage Cessna 172 painted in 1955 trainer colours, and an exhibition at the Frankfurt corporate headquarters tracing the airline&#8217;s full century. Most photographers will care about exactly one of those: the A380.<\/p>\n\n<p>Spotters at Munich, Frankfurt, Tokyo Haneda and Singapore should keep their lenses ready. D-AIMA enters scheduled service this June and will fly normal Munich-based long-haul rotations for the rest of her life \u2014 meaning the world&#8217;s biggest passenger jet will be wearing the world&#8217;s most-loved Crane logo on routes Lufthansa has flown for decades.
