vintage airline logos
executive jet aviation
as well as having an extensive archive of airplane designs the museum of flight website boasts a collection
of almost 150 'vintage' airline logos. of course a large number of them feature the birds, wings and fins
you'd expect but there is also some unexpected iconography in the mix.

And indeed, Trans Brasil is quite unexpected :)
when i saw the trans brasil one i also thought "Gay Airlines?"
The predecessor of this livery was a different two-color combination to every single airplane, each representing a Brazilian natural resource or aspect.
The "rainbow tail" came on the early 80's to bring them all together.
It used to be a very nice airline, BTW. Too bad it's gone now.

Also, I'm really curious: why was that unexpected?
It was a symbol of joy and tropical colors, reinforced with the stylized sun of it's early visual identity.
It symbolizes another kind of air company, a warmer and cozy way of flying, very different from the others, wich has very serious and tedious blue logos (a compass for VARIG's logo, for example, or a simple logotype for VASP's).
After some years, the other two companies had it's visual identity fully redesigned.
