I imagined that it would grow on me, but it doesn’t. It’s not bad, but it’s too generic. I mean there’s at least two more European airlines that share the color palette.

TAROM Romanian Airways

LOT Polish Airlines

It's like some kind of uniform.

I like it. But I miss Aeromexico’s old.

Aluminum should be polished, not painted

It’s definitely worse than the old design.

I miss American’s polished aluminum. It photographed so much better than that drab livery they have now.

Good luck with that on your 787/A350. Even planes with aluminum fuselages tend to have lots of non-aluminum bits these days.

And of course , if you want polished aluminum, you have to actually polish it. American’s planes always looked dingy to me because they never put in the time required to actually keep the aluminum looking good.

I don’t understand why they felt the need to get rid of the Lufthansa yellow. It’s what made the livery pop and also be instantly recognizable. Now it looks like everything else, and I’m getting tired of this trend of putting the tail art all the way down the empennage. There was absolutely nothing wrong with this.

I believe that’s actually a good part of the reason that American changed their livery.

And yeah, their Mad Dog fleet always looked particularly dingy (as well as the 727's back in the 1990's).

I agree that it should stay, but I wouldn’t mind a less discordant  shade. The old one reminds me too much of Ikea.

The old one was a bit dusty, and the silver belly didn’t helped it either. It’s just that they weren’t daring/creative enough with the new one.

B asically they took the safest way, as most of the other proposals were fresher.

I dont mind painted empennages, makes the design more compelling.

If it were up to me, They’d be rocking this:

I’m a sucker for retro liveries.

I like that last one. Perhaps if they had done the crane in yellow.

I miss the old British Airways livery.

It was simple, understated and elegant.

This does nothing for me.

I wonder how much money they are saving a year by literally just having one color to their logo. I suspect this change had much less to do with “Reinventing the brand” than it was to save some coin.

I agree, their yellow bird was a much more interesting and visually appealing design.
