You need to pitch your design to AA quick before they paint any more of those awful tails. Which is a terrible combination of the worst pieces of Continental and United’s old logos. I think it will be a winner. Moreover, change for the sake of change is just gratuitous.That is offensive to me. A few months later they blow hundreds of millions on a hideously ugly logo and unnecessary rebranding effort just for funsies. I see the mostly aluminum and non paint areas on their video but on the National News (CBS) last night and this morning it was showing that metal in WHITE. And presumably these design team folks are, by definition, the only legitimate arbiters of taste, and would never be so incompetent as to come up with a crappy corporate identity? I think it's cool. Pa-tooey!I understand the need for contrast between the body and tail in order to generate some kind of visual dynamic and I applaud AA’s attempt to move it’s livery into a new era but to me, after 9/11, do you really want to confirm the stereotype of “loud, we’re #1” America?The tail should not “contrast” the rest of the plane, but flow into its body creating a cohesive visage. The 787s composites are naturally dark brownish-black. Write a review. My favorite American livery was the orange thunderbolt seen on the first 707’s and Astrojets with the AA Eagle, and on their aircraft dating back to the DC-3. US Airways' aircraft livery has varied both under the US Airways and USAir name. Well done! This is extremely offensive. (But no less than 24 hours before your pilot shift, of course.) Guess they're planning on staying independent then? The form is usually beautiful in itself and is by definition aerodynamic. Almost as good as Air Canada’s. Almost every staff member had a different opinion and for every suggestion there were immediate rejections!Someone let Tommy Hilfiger into the hangars at Tulsa.Well, full marks for delivering on a striking new livery, but it's a bit too shocking for me - and it doesn't say 'American Airlines' to me anymore..It kind of reminds me of BA's re branding to the flag that they did about 10 years ago...What was American thinking. I’m looking at a flag across the street right now. I don’t “hate” the tail.. I do, however, like that guy's take on a ne livery for American.IMO, the tail will take require some time to get used to. Does nobody value simplicity and class anymore? This is a repaint of the PMDG Boeing 737-800 NGX in the newly released American Airlines livery. Flag has 13.It’s an abstract. If it matters to them, then it matters to customers.Have you ever sat in on one of those logo brainstorming meetings? In fact, Parker’s retro design would have kept The smarter compromise would have been, and should have been, to keep the new tail, but dispense immediately with the linoleum knife and put the “AA” on the fuselage. Ickie Poo!! It’s the logo that’s the problem. The good news is, when you are riding inside of one, you won’t be able to see it.A pilot commenting and criticizing the work of an enormous design team. I also agree that the AA Eagle logo should have been retained, and maybe updated with a real Eagle in it, or a better stylized one than on the red white blue livery. I sure do not see the flag on this aircraft, and there is also a small flag on each U.S. certified aircraft that you must have missed, but that is beside your point. I’ll miss the unpainted silver look, it was the one thing that made American planes distinctive, but it’s not that big a deal, I guess. Personally I was fine with the logo & paint design, the one I grew up on & remembered since I been alive which has been nearly 40 years. Concerns about livery will seem quaint in the not too distant future.I was going to say Liberace’s, but Liberace had more taste than that.You got it all wrong, that’s not an eagle’s beak pointing through a shower curtain. This makes United’s ditching of the iconic tulip for the meaningless Continental wiffle ball seem like a minor transgression. I was hoping to see American introduce some new colors into their new livery rather than the boring red, white, and blue. I doubt the new logo will be as versatile.I’m a BA frequent flyer, but I often used to choose an American codeshare for transatlantic. Unlike a lot of today’s carriers, there is plenty of colour and it comes across as much cleaner looking.The old especially the double A on the tail.
