I see VS has decided to enter the ‘horrendous’ livery club…. 😮

I agree Sandy, the metallic paint is stunning. Good choice.

The only thing I like about this livery is the use of a metallic paint for the red. It realy will make liveries with flat colours look old.

At least the ‘belly titles’ makes for easier visual identification of high level traffic. As for these new VS titles? IMO they should have left well alone.

I think it is very hard to make anything other than a very simple colour scheme suit the B747!

I love the Thai scheme on all of their aircraft, especially their 747s.

This one…..the titles seem a bit narrow, maybe if they had used bold font :p not terrible though

VS is one of these airlines I have fallen in love with and therefore can’t really do anything wrong. In their defence I think it is very hard to make anything other than a very simple colour scheme suit the B747!

Actually, belly titles are nothing new. They where used a lot in the 30s and 40s. Back then the planes flew low enough that such advertising actually made sense.

Well as they say you learn something new every day:D and Jonthan I it look better on the A380

Nowt wrong with that…the only thing I would say is that it would have been a bit better if the ‘virgin atlantic’ lettering had been placed slightly lower down as it looks a bit too high-up and therefore doesn’t particularly complement the shape of the 744 that well, but overall I actually quite like it.:)

You know the rule…K.I.S.S; Keep It Simple, Stupid.
