The Liveries Topic

[headbreakone]

I would like to know how decided painting in black the cockpit windows area looks cool on airplanes. It does not, it’s just stupid.

[Robin]

I like this one! It has 5 colors but it’s still a nice, clean livery.

Ehhh…

I beg to differ on the Freedom of Space scheme. Loved that as a kid, love it till now

[Aussie99]

Flybe New and Old:

Which is better?

• New Livery
• Old Livery

[PigScroll]

I have an idea for a question:
Should films be advertised on aircraft?
Many airlines have done it:
ANA (Star Wars):

Air New Zealand (The Hobbit):

Hainan Airlines (Kung Fu Panda):

Hawaiian Airlines (Moana):

So, what do you think?

• Films should be portrayed on planes (YES)
• Films should not be portrayed on planes (NO)

[AndyPol]

I quite like the Wizzair livery, a real mix but looks good in my opinion

[AndyPol]

and the second version for Wizz

[Matex]

This is inpired by Liveries - Best and Worsts, I would like to know which airlines changed their liveries for better and which didnt and if you like their new or old livery. Which airline should change their livery ? Please post also pictures and dont use liveries older than 20 years.

[Matex]

China Eastern Airlines, they changed their livery only recently and it is so bad. Their previous livery was kind of good, but their new one is just very bad, it looks like they leased the airplane, its just plain white. There are airlines which liveries are nearly fully white like Finnair or SWISS,they are stylish especially Finnair. They have one of the worst in whole world. Just compere them:

[glugeck]

Skywork a very small Swiss airline, made a new livery, wich I think is very boring. I think the green white livery was much better and more creative.

now

[SirMS]

I hate the new Air Canada livery. The blue and red scheme looks too similar to Delta and is not appealing at all. I wish they had chosen a design with more red.

Old:

New:

[Matex]

If they had something like this fan concept, it would look much better.

[Til]

I think the new Air Canada livery would look really cool if they scrapped the dark shade of the cockpit windows…

[letsdothis41]

such a change for United

[Olof]

Upon popular request I merged the two liveries topics and gave it a better suiting name!

[High_Flyer]

It is a reference to indigenous groups that use birds as a sort of symbol in life, like what is found on totem poles.

[ThomasNL]

I miss that blue belly on the new Austrian livery though
