New Qantas livery.
 

Thoughts everyone?

A most informative post indeed. :ugh:

I guess you are referring to this:

Qantas reveals new livery and logo | Australian Aviation

Personally I think this is like the Emperor's new clothes. Minor difference, achieved at (no doubt) major cost. A bit like the cabin crew and pilot uniforms.

If it ain't broke.....don't mess with it.

Light typeface - so hot right now.

Some of the group aircraft don't even have the current livery yet. I guess they can skip straight to this one and it 'saves' a paint job.

Wasn't trying to inform anyone of anything tw just starting a new thread so we could discuss the change. Why do you like banging your head against a wall?

CW, agree wholeheartedly with your sentiments. Would be interesting to know just how "major" the cost was to redesign the previous livery to the new.

I really don't understand why, a new font and an arm less kangaroo aren't really going to make money. I would rather them spend there money on a few more aircraft that painting all the current ones!

It's about staying relevant and renewed in a world that is globalised where branding and marketing is ever so important. Also more aircraft doesn't necessarily equate to making more money.
I for one love the new livery.

I don't really know, been doing it for 20 years as a PPRuNe Mod. :confused: :confused: :sad:

Regarding your thread, this is PPRuNe, not a Qantas exclusive aircrew forum.

People visit this forum from all over the world, from the aviation industry, wannabes and non aviation people. Kids visit this forum. And PPRuNe Mods moderate this forum that have never worked for or had anything to do with Qantas and didn't know there was a new colour scheme. It is not earth shattering news you know.......

A little informative detail in the first post would go a long way to enlightening the masses and illiterate Mods!!! :ok: :ok: :ok:

:}

That's a fair statement tw. Happy flying!

They forgot the bit at the back!

It's not clearly visible in the photo above but Ch 9 just showed some footage of a "Dreamliner" that looked not unlike an A330 and on both sides of the nose was a winged kangaroo in a circle. This emblem first appeared on the B747 engine cowls. Given this recognition of what the roo used to look like, I could be persuaded to live with the new stylised version on the tail. It's certainly an improvement on the current club foot abomination. It's basically armless anyway. As for the new logotype - I don't like it at all.

Is it a new shade of white or something?
Wait,now I see it.
We will be staring up at the heavens in wonder, to see just which god is descending to earth. We will read the belly title and know that it is the god of aviation!
How low do they need to descend for the public to read it?

No perceivable difference that will translate into $$$.
Glad my $$$ aren't there.

Then again, better than a cartoon figure of a of Leprechaun smiling at you.

Beautiful aircraft. Why does it need one of those things on the tail, that your nan used to make baby blankets with? What was wrong with the roo?

"Looks 'armless enuf"......To an Irishman maybe......

Is that a 'leprechaun hat' Oi wonder....??

:p

With this new livery and my shiny new white cap, I am so engaged right now I think I am going to pop!!:rolleyes:

It's halfway towards morphing into a NZ koru...not long now :E

They spelt Sydney wrong.

That thing on the tail looks as much like a kangaroo as one of these;
