I've got to say that I really do think the new Gulf Air livery is probably my favourite. It took me awhile to get used to it but now I definately think it is one of the liveries that stands out the most at any airport. But then again, I'm biased because I work for them

For what it is worth

1) BA - Union Tail - especially when far from home

2) Gulf Air - their new livery is outstanding in some light

3 American Airline - again in the right light she shines

There are so many new airlines starting up it's difficult to keep track of the liveries.
