New Lufthansa livery, soon to be officially unveiled. Wo ist das Gelb hin?

Nice 747-8, though.

“We’re a German company. We should hire Germans to design our new livery.”

I like the tail.

I like it, a lot. I wish they’d have found a way to integrate the yellow back in, but killing the grey belly was a solid move.

But it’s just like so many other tails. FedEx, AA. You know me, I’m a(n) historian, so I like the older things. I think that Lufthansa is just one of the classic airlines, and I prefer the classic livery. Hell, I’d even prefer this:

The new one is just too monochromatic and boring. To me.

I just think it’s boring. At least they kept the crane.

Interestingly, the Air Canada livery doesn’t have that much more to it, but I prefer the painted tail to having the color cover the whole empennage. And the splash of red is really sharp.

YEAH, ITS THE 80s: WE’RE HIP AND RED

OH, Its the nineties and we invested in net stock, now we suit up and keep our shit clean.

Fuck you, we’re painting a dragon god on our multi-million dollar jet and there isn’t a god damn thing you can do about it!

It looks like it is unfinished. It looks like they forgot to paint whatever goes on the front.

It’s got a painted underside that you can’t really see unless you’re on the ground, so theres that.

I’m okay with that. It’s a good look.

Not crazy about the red, but I like the bare aluminum. I was sorry to see it go on the AA livery. Not only did it look good, it photographed better than their new boring livery.

Oh, I loved the aluminum look of the Aeromexico jets, much more than the new liveries (that dragon god thing is a special jet, not everysingle one has it). I don’t understand that airline though, they’re changing their fleet of 777 for 787s and the next gen 737, I guess from a finantial perspective it makes sense, but man, I miss those huge ass 777.

It looks like a pregnancy test.

I wish the horizontal was also blue.

The AA bare aluminum always looked pretty dingy to me. Obviously it can look good, but I don’t think AA put enough work into cleaning their planes to pull it off.

Either way, it wasn’t going to work on the 787/A350, so they needed a painted scheme if they wanted to stay consistent.

I’ll agree that the gray scheme is a bit ugly though.

I’ll take the Astrojet livery. But you know me and old things....

Seems like a downgrade. I mean it’s a nice clean design, but just a bit boring. It could really used the old yellow crane to add a splash of color.

It is interesting how much the color of the tail changes between the photos.

Exactly. Can’t tell if it’s purple, black or even green. If it’s purple, then I’m going with FedEx.

Certainly not very historical. I like the bold swath of blue, though. I think if they put some complementary blue accents on the rest of the plane and not just plain white, it would look better as the modern look they seem to be going for.

I doubt they’ll change the lettering at the front. That has become iconic. But it just needs more color. If they painted the crane yellow it would make all the difference.
