This photo from around 1985 shows a United Airlines employee cleaning a flight information kiosk with cathode ray tube (CRT) displays. Do you remember those? Two different United logos are shown, the Saul Bass designed logo used from 1974 to 2010 (top, on the signage) and a much earlier one, introduced in the 1950s (very faded on the back of his coveralls). Which United logo is your favorite? Image: San Francisco International Airport (SFO), United Airlines, c. 1985. SFO Museum Collection. 2011.068.118
