Daaamn, the new livery for AF1 looks incredible.

I must say, Donald is a good livery designer for airplanes. He’s wasting his time as President; he should’ve been head of livery design at an aviation marketing firm. He would’ve K-I-L-L-E-D it!

Loewy has nothing on 45

It’s like one of those “One of these things is not like the other” quizzes.

Not unlike a portrait of all 45 presidents together.

I mean, when DJT bought his B757, I bet he had a lot of time to think about the livery, such is true about Trump airlines.

I do wholeheartedly mean it... He’s a good livery designer.

And such a success.

I expect it to look like this inside:

I think it looks good.  Tasteful and restrained.  Not immensely creative but good.

I mean, many reasons beyond his incompetence brought trump shuttle down. the early 90s weren’t a nice time for airlines.

But yeah, if he was a business genius, he would’ve been able to keep it afloat.

I assume you’re referring to Chester Arthur’s glorious facial hair

I was gonna say Taft, but fat shaming is out of fashion.

One would assume he was in charge of marketing for his own airline which barely lasted over a year. So yeah, killed it.

I don’t think anyone is saying that those designs are bad or ugly. They just are a step down from the current livery and colors.

I don't think it's any better and perhaps a bit worse than the existing livery.  I really like Dieter Rams.

I like the current one too.  Both convey the appropriate image.

Its not bad, just not really distinctive. It could just as easily be for the ki ng of the Netherlands or the q ueen of Australia or the president of Liberia.

I’m okay with the scheme being changed, and just going on those quick screencaps the new livery is rather nice. I woul d like to see the difference between A&B and C& D; apparently there’s a cheat line too small to be seen at that res. I’m partial to A or C, but that’s just me.

Words that have never been used in the same sentence as Trump

I guess that’s why the flag on the tail and the lettering are important parts of the design. :)

Notice I didn’t actually type “Trump” in that sentence.

His casino record also speaks volumes, like several other endeavors.

But when you benefit from unearned dynastic wealth, you can go for it.

The colour arrangement f o r t h e fusela g e reminds me of the last TWA scheme:

I like it, we can all agree livery design peaked in the late 90s

I loved Air France’s traditional livery. And the old script (same period, 70s-00s) was very classy. The new one is just bland.

British Airways’ during the 70s and 80s was very elegant too.

No, it’s the new AF1 livery.

It’s a good start. Too derivative of the old TWA livery (AuthiCooper1300), but I get the impression he is only involved in this so he can put his long term stamp on something that will be seen for years. Kind of like a dog marking territory. Perhaps I am too cynical .

And the Trump presidential library. Which will contain all the tweets
