The new Delta is nice & clean but I'm starting to like the "billowing" tail Delta livery which hasn't lasted long and never made it fleet wide...

I can appreciate Delta trying to revamp the look, but I think the size and the weight/stroke-width of the logotype they are using is too small and thin, especially on a white background. It will be harder to spot the plane from a concourse or control tower. Plus, the paint scheme looks too much like the newer U.S. Airways.
|
I think AA's silver belly will always make it the classiest. I hope they never change that.
|
It's unpainted/exposed aluminum, I think.
I wonder how much lighter the plane is with so little paint, or if it affects drag. |

Canyon blue. :tup:
Although I do like United's new livery. |
After seeing that chart at the top of the page, I'm reminded of how awesome Song was. What a shame.

United, with US Airways as a close 2nd.

I'd have to pick that one as well! And so, it looks like the majority of votes went to United! |
good comparisons of recent and new UA colors from almost the same angle

United...then US Airways...then Southwest
|
United yo.
|
I like American - very clean.
Not on the list but a personal favorite is Alaskan. |
I like Northwest's white livery up close, the white is a very nice pearlescent paint. Shame you can't tell from a distance or in pictures. I voted for US Airways, though if it didn't have the light gray lines, I probably wouldn't have. Delta's new colors are a close second.
|
GSTom1, the first picture in your original post, the diagram of all the planes, is that available in poster form somewhere?
|
My favourite has got to be United's new livery.
The new US livery and the Deltaflot livery are pretty good too. |
IMO, the old United livery is ugly. I never liked the grey paint scheme. The new United livery is quite nice. I also like the new US Airway livery. Too bad they didn't keep any of the colorful elements of America West Airlines when they merged.
What do you guys think of the new Delta livery? http://img258.imageshack.us/img258/7016/boeing777200deltaairlinra1.png :) |

^ missing Air New Zealand from the international poster.
United's new livery is very sleak, but I still love the shiny AA livery. |
Quote:
Also, Northwest is missing from int'l poster. |
So many int'l airlines of great significance are missing it's ridiculous.

Delta’s current livery is the best, and song's is pretty good too. Is that airline still around?
|
^ delta's new livery is almost too similar (imo) to united's new job. otherwise, i like it, notably the tail and the new font/red delta.
northwest has always been my favorite, even before i moved up to detroit. i also can say i appreciate american airlines unpainted silver, although their logo's a bit bland to me. i also like continental's globe. |
Another US Domestic airline that's gaining traction but is small and a low-fare carrier is Allegiant. Here's the Livery:

Personally I think ANA and SIA have dull liveries. My favorite Intl's would be LAN, Aeroflot, KLM. |

I like United's new and Delta's current (not new).
|
Sorry, TWA takes the prize. Yeah, yeah, it's not here anymore, but it will always be the best airline!

I guess it would be United. The new livery is solid hough the U is too large on the tail fin (and it was too small on the previous livery). A little bit of red would have also helped. For some reason I loved the 80's United oragen/blue scheme.
Internationaly I would have to go with South African Airways. The tail fin on those planes are so killer. |
The new US Airways livery is really nice IMO. But American gets my vote. Simple, easy to see, and very easy to recognize.
A selection of pics from my collection here in Nashville. http://www.pbase.com/lexyky/image/76927918/original.jpg http://www.pbase.com/lexyky/image/73892366/original.jpg http://www.pbase.com/lexyky/image/75920428/original.jpg http://www.pbase.com/lexyky/image/67795267/original.jpg On a side not though: this may not be the REAL Pan Am, but it's still good to see the old colors flying. http://www.pbase.com/lexyky/image/76806056/original.jpg As for International carriers, China Airlines from Taiwan gets my vote hands down IMO. Each tail is hand painted on their crafts. That, to me, is priceless works of art. http://www.pbase.com/lexyky/image/75918646/original.jpg http://www.pbase.com/lexyky/image/76504662/original.jpg http://www.pbase.com/lexyky/image/65663305/original.jpg |
^i like the "AstroJet"
|
I liked the dark blue of US Airways but the new one is nice, Delta sort of copied but I like it too. United is good, but American looks dated, though they should never lose the silver body.
|
I prefer the classic American Airlines look. Shiny metal always gets my vote. The new United scheme is sharp however.
http://www.luftfahrt.net/galerie/new/bilder/1055367507_A319_N361NB_0305xt%20Kopie.jpg The thing about Northwest that always bugged me/made me laugh is that when I see "NWA" I don't think Northwest Airlines. |
Straight outta M'Napolis
|
^hehe Since NWA doesn't fly anywhere near here NorthWest is never what I think of when I hear NWA (and I hear NWA every day:P).

United is number 1, period. The new colours are simply amazing, I love that tail fin that reminds me of a bunny's little booty. So cute.
US Air would be number 2 domestically. Internationally, I like China Airlines (from Taiwan not CHINA) as the best livery. A very beautiful girl coming from the beautiful island of Formosa Taiwan, awesome site indeed everytime I see her land/take off in Vancouver. United would be second internationally and Air Canada would be third. |

Nice. Bird.
|
I love this thread!
|
Nothing beats a bear cub on the Frontier tail...
http://www.globalgiants.com/archives/media/FRONTIER-AIR.jpg |
BWIA West Indies gets my vote
http://www.airlineandairportlinks.com/airline_pages/fisher_photo/9y_pos_bwia_737.jpg http://www.expressionsholidays.co.uk/ResPic/CE%20Home/Connecting%20flights%20BWIA%20CE.jpg http://www.ktapr.com/kta/images/BWIA_05.jpg I also really like Gulf Air's golden color scheme http://widebodyaircraft.nl/a330gula.jpg |
NWA, UA, CO in that order. JetBlue has some pretty neat ones too.
|
Generally I like the NW Airlines one, but only the light-colored version. I hate dark-colored liveries.

The new(ish) SAS livery is a real improvement on the 80s one IMO;

What no mention of Braniff
http://www.airchive.com/Memorabilia/Braniff/BI%20Calder%20727.jpg |
I like US Airways livery the best, not only because I'm from Charlotte, but because it's hot.
