airline liverys

[schoolkid]

I've decided to set up a forum about airline liverys.The best and worst.For me the best are UNITED

[Spenda]

Will your website include airlines that are now unfortunately defunct? The best ex-airline livery has to be Canadian Airlines' Proudwings livery incorporating the big Blue Goose. Too bad the Canadian Government allowed Air Canada to take that away from us.

Good luck

Spenda, I think schoolkid meant a topic not forum.

Shame about the goose livery but we would have been a goose,cooked,otherwise. Now we're the only airline with a leaf on the tail. Hey, also the only country with a leaf on the flag.

[pull the red toggle]

Best: open to deliberation, though partial to AZ, UT.

Worst: can anyone disagree with the old silver/white/blue fuselage and red tail of Northwest Orient?!?

[Pax-man]

Best: Fed-Ex - simple and classy.

Worst: Ryanair's full-plane adverts, particularly The Sun and NOTW efforts.

[pigboat]

Best: USAirways
Worst: Northwest. All that red over grey looks like a friggin bowling shoe.

[Fast Jet Wannabe]

I think the Buzz livery is pretty cool.

And Go have got a nice marketing idea by painting them all different colours!

Worst in my opinion is the new Virgin Atlantic cola can rip-off. Although most people seem to like it other than me!

[JBravo]

Best: KLM, although Gulf Air is a close second for me.

Worst: I have to agree with MileHi on Air India. Uglyyyyyyy

[15/15 flex]

Surely the (now-defunkt) BA tail liveries count among the worst?

[Thrust-Bump]

Check out Cougar Leasing B727-200 http://www.pprune.org/ubb/NonCGI/cool.gif

[1stspotter]

One of the best liveries for me are

Air Tahiti Nui
Lan Chile
Sun Country new livery
Air Jaimaca

[U R NumberOne]

For those that liked the Canada Goose scheme - it was still proudly adorning two A320s at YYZ on Wednesday - saw them thanks to a 12 hour delay!! :mad:

Best - New Braathens is reasonable
Worst - BWIA http://www.pprune.org/ubb/NonCGI/cool.gif <-- need shades on to look at it!

[FL390]

Best: BA - Landor Livery (Very classy)
Cathay - New livery

Worst: BA - Multi-coloured rubbish
Olympic

[Aerosmith]

Best: the new classy look of USAIRWAYS
Worst: Whoever flies that nasty looking 146 in all screaming yellow with a bit of purple on it.

[Max Angle]

Best: New BA.
Qantas. (So simple, yet so effective)


Worst: Buzz/Virgin Sun (Yellow, yuk)
New BMI (Which I have to fly around in, what were they thinking!)

[chiglet]

Best- has to be the RAF VC10 Grey of 10sqn, first A/C I flew on as CC.

Worst- def the BA world tails, the olny time Lady T got something right when she slagged them off.

Also is that 727 reg "ND", if so I cant belive it is still flying, used to fly it with Dan Air.

[PaulDeGearup]

Best - JAL really classy on their 744s.
Worst - Cant say BA's tail art did it for me but overall I reckon Buzz comes in by a nose.

[PAXboy]

There are many more Worst than Best! My .02 worth on the BA multi-culturals ... not that bad. The flying pennant style of now is weedy and lacks substance.

Best: Agree that the BOAC on VC10s was heart stopping. Of those current? SAA have a beautiful tailfin now.

Worst: Any that breaks up the natural line of the machine. This is why the BOAC VC10 looked so good - as it emphasized the natural lines and gave an impression of speed - whilst on the apron.

I can stomach just about anything - unless they cut across the fuselage or other natural lines. The new Virgin is particularly dissapointing in this regard. Good colours but expanding the tailfin art work (to make the logo larger?) breaks the line. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong! All these fashionable curves (BMI etc.) will pass.
