TransCanada Airlines - Air Canada

Trans Canada Air Lines was created in 1937.
TCA DC-8 sticker

In the mid 60's, Trans Canada became Air Canada. The graphics painted on the fins showed a white stylized maple leaf in a white circle on a red background.

The old Trans-Canada Air Lines Viscount on the left illustrates the "traditionnal" graphics used by most airlines in the 60's. The fin on the right illustrates the '80s colorful graphics. (One must admit that in the early 2000, we see numerous "clinical white" planes from one company to another. This must reduce paint jobs as carriers lease their planes to one another from season to season...)

A new logo was introduced in 1993 with a more realistic red sugar maple leaf on a (very) dark green background.

The stylized maple leaf in a circle was kept forward of the name on the fuselage but red on white background.
