Airline livery update - who needs one?

Royal Brunei tried to go modern but it's aged quickly. Prefer the old one.

Alaskan Airlines has just revealed the new livery specific for the 787 fleet

It is supposed to represent the Northern Lights and I have to say I like it a lot.

The famous "smiling eskimo" livery will remain for other non 787 aircraft.

Refreshes can also be clangers - some examples above. But who remembers the disastrous BA change when they replaced the coat of arms on the tails with all sorts of different tail designs / colours. They were supposed represent countries or destinations but were just confusing…diluted the BA brand image and didn’t last long.

I understand Maggie Thatcher was incensed. Wouldn't have fancied being the BA CEO on the end of her telephone call

I really don't like Air New Zealand's current livery with the back silver fern tail.
To me, it just looks really tacky and not reflective of a national carrier.

I loved their "Pacific Wave" livery from the 90's - 2000's , Very classy and stylish I always thought.

A big disagree on this one. My favourite livery. In what way is the black fern not reflective of being NZ's national carrier? Maybe a stylised kiwi instead? The old two tone blue stripe ending with a barely recognisable koru on the tail was meh

Yes, at the press launch she famously cover the new tail design with her handkerchief.
