Anything is better than that nightmarish Malaysia A380. Always found the koi and rising sun logo very pleasing.I’m going to disagree with the majority of readers here… In almost all the instances, I believe the new liveries, while not the most amazing jobs out there, look better than the old.The straight lines and older font styles convey a dated look.
The new look is clearly designed to blind passengers so they don’t see the duck tape holding the wing on.I’ve been buying airline tickets for about 50 years and I’ve yet to base my choice of airline on the colour of its fuselage. I am assuming that the second voice is that of the pilot who flew the plane in. New 185 livery in progress ... United States Naval Aviator mean more. I.e., when I see a coat of arms on a plane (or on anything else), I tend to identify it as innately outmoded, as symbolic of a company that doesn’t understand contemporary design, contemporary mores, and by implication, perhaps not contemporary anything. A gimmicky mish-mash of gold and coffee-colored triangles, it looks like a bunch of cardboard boxes caught up in the wind. Makes a Boeing look like an Airbus.Have to disagree here, everyone is somewhat of an improvement over their old ones.Particulary the first one, the blur is much more inviting and cleaner.Iberia’s new one is much more modern and cleaner, and more inviting.While not all of them are fantastic, I think they’re all improvements.I strongly disagree with loads of your thoughts. Love it! I’d personally rather they used Bigfoot, as at least that’s something people up here are (allegedly) likely to see, at least compared to a shark. It really is a shame and I’m glad you wrote this and illustrated it quite well.Honestly I think that the new Etihad livery is one of prettiest out there, and I also like the new AA livery because it looks more modern. In the past BA,JAL,PIA and Air India have all changed their tail logos only to reintroduce them again when they presumably realised their mistake.The only modern one I really like: Vietnam Airlines. Is that random assemblage of triangles supposed to evoke some kind of Arabesque? But some of these old liveries was really unoriginal, And the new ones look for my taste much better.Yes, different tastes. Hence, that was a trigger for AA to replace their livery. But as airline branding, it just doesn’t work.I don’t think that is supposed to be an arrow on the new Frontier design. If the public doesn’t agree then they are not good designs for an aircraft. The scratch lines on the latter do look like rain or sleet. Perhaps the logo and livery needs to be somewhat generic, but as it stands, it looks like someone gave a pack of Letraset to André the Giant.Indeed the Star Alliance logo is horrible.
I think that’s one reason why most airline used to use their 747 as their promotional images (other than that they are too expensive to not show them off ).Now that 747s are gone, and cheatlines once again cut aircrafts in half. I think the > The kindest thing that can be said about the Spirit AirlinesI’ve wondered on occasion if some of the new liveries aren’t reducing visibility too much — not just Etihad’s WW2 E-boat dazzle paint, but Southwest’s abundant use of sky-blue, for instance. They kind of to pretty much deserve it.I don’t understand why one would paint a plane gold. They saw Messi play there in 2012. Yikes. It’s funny that people on here are defending these new paint jobs.
I can’t image how much airlines paid design consultants to do such bad pieces of work. As ugly as the yellow Spirit is, shouldn’t the goal be for planes of airlines to be recognized from far, as they are seen most of the time? (I bet 99 percent of the western world’s inhabitants could do so, even among people who’ve “never been” and “never will”. 41 of the 625 aircraft in the United Express fleet already have the new livery including 18 E-175s, five E-145s, two CRJ-200s and 16 CRJ-550s. I somehow thought they might have been partners or incarnations of each other, but I could be mistaken.) I also agree that I’d like more Colorado or Western-themed animals on the tail. Their new interiors and branding are the initial thrust from gold and lacquered wood gaudy to modern London hotel swank. And that’s right, the opening credits to the old “Hawaii Five-O” featured a quick glance of a DC-8, shot through a fisheye lens. Working both in the aviation industry and as a travel consultant, Matthew has been featured in major media outlets around the world and uses his Live and Let's Fly blog to share the latest news in the airline industry, commentary on frequent flyer programs, and detailed reports of his worldwide travel.What a sorry joke and performance by LH’s ‘top’ ‘leadership’. .While the Boston “T” logo is iconic – its meaning is probably lost on most Americans.
Even if you didn’t read the ad you knew who placed it. If the airline tried replacing the animals with some standard corporate logo, I imagine they’d be up to their eyeballs with complaints.I’m not begrudging them!
