Erm, new...I dont think so
And that livery is new how exactly? Apart from the deletion of the blue stripe and a curvier red it looks the same. Oh ya the font is a LITTLE bit different as well. Of course airlines should freshen up their image from time to time, but VS seems to do it a lot, and not change it much, I know Virgin is a strong brand, but is the expense really worth it? Why bother?
Passengers will never notice. Passengers only noticed the new BA colours because of the controversy "world images" caused. Personally I tought they were a nice idea....

Not being funny mate, but if it's different from the old livery and it's not and exact copy of a previous livery, then it's new. I was only pointing it out.
It looks to me like they're bringing it in line with the Virgin America livery.

Now now, it's little things like this that give graphic designers wet dreams.
"oooh let's change the font ever so very slightly.."
The odd thing is they will take up to five years to repaint the fleet and in the meantime it becomes a right old mixed bag as people notice the plane their about to board looks so last year all of a sudden.
If it's as nice as G-VFAB the Birthday Girl in the sun it will be cool. But the purple border so worked on the fin for me.
Anyone have a photo of Virgin Nigeria in the new colours?
And are the A340s in Africa remaining on the UK register and why?

New livery looks cleaner-like it. Not an expert but it may be easier to keep these aerolpanes on the UK register and would certainly build customer confidence. (I would rather be on a UK reg aeroplane than a Nigerian one given track record, although I know the Nigerian govt. are trying to address things).
In a different world, we sold a Super Cub in Eire recently but the owner keeps it onthe UK reg as it's maintained in N.Ireland.
