Mmm like the tail, dislike the union rag bit:confused: (Thought it was Virgin OZ!!)

Erm….maybe a quick search on google for the Australian flag will reveal its presence in this livery :rolleyes:

??? Are you referring to the Southern Cross on the tail?

I think he ment the Union Flag in silver before the tail. bmi-esq but perhaps a bit more subtle.

Australia should have a capital ‘A’

Maybe blue at the front fading off as it goes down the plane. Their is alot worse out there though

Horribly expensive to do for a mainstream livery.
The fading is done by dots. Either as stickers or paint. The dots from one colour gradually get bigger or smaller (depending on the direction of the fade). The result is a blend effect when you’re looking at the aircraft from a distance. Up close it looks like a case of rainbow acne.

Anyway… the dots are expensive and time consuming to apply.

The “Vaustralia” bit looks awkward, it just doesn’t look right. They should have used a diverent typeface for the “V” to make it flow more with “australia”
However, the tail is nice, if a little spartan.

Not too keen on the titles either “Vaustralia” what’s that mean??::diablo:
Looking for a positive here… erm… err.. the reg!!! that looks just fine.:dev2:
2 out of 10.

In its defence, at least it is A BIT more……adventurous (?) than the bland T7 liveries of airlines such as Air France :rolleyes:

AF? They’re fine. Dirt makes up for the lack of paint! 😀

Ufff… You know what I meant.

Crap Logo, bland design.

I was agreeing with you in a slightly less than obvious way! 😀

That’s got to be one of the worst liveries on the 777, especially the front half of the fuselage.
