Theyre Lee-Elliott (28 May 1903 – 24 December 1988) was an English artist who created notable Art Deco logos such as the Speedbird and painted the ballet and religious art. He was born David Lee Theyre Elliott in 1903 in Lewes. He was educated at Winchester and Magdalene College, Cambridge, where he read theology but was a high jump champion, won a Blue for lawn tennis and represented England at table tennis. * Edward McKnight Kauffer's 1917 poster for the Daily Herald may have inspired the Speedbird logo. * Lee-Elliot's Speedbird logo created in 1932 for Imperial Airways *
