Description

Air France, Win The Heart of the World travel poster from the “Gagner le cœur du monde” campaign (mid-to-late 1990s). This vintage airline advertisement translates to “Win the heart of the world,” and it’s visually presented with a jet’s contrail forming a heart against a deep blue sky—simple, emotional, and instantly memorable.

Produced as part of a campaign that emphasized a new philosophy for Air France—building a closer connection with travelers—the design was used across promotional materials around 1997 and 1998, including timetables and associated marketing visuals and commercials.

Visually, the heart-shaped contrail is more than decoration: it’s the campaign’s message in one image, using movement and aviation imagery to symbolize warmth, relationship-building, and hospitality. This ad is also a good snapshot of how Air France’s advertising evolved over the decades, moving from simply promoting travel to highlighting the unique emotional experience of flying “the French way.”
