Usually I like only 5% of the liveries I see but I must say these look really good.
Great job.

I think thats a pretty good effort.

Hey, did’nt I ask for candidness? Thanks so much for the feedback. Sounds like the tail is the most popular and the red roof is the least. Thanks for the what’s-wrong-with-the-gray bit, Sandy (oops). This gives me good information to start making changes.

Gonna have to go against the grain here.
I’m not too sure about it. The lines don’t flow. The Grey sweeping under the tail and nown the nose seems “last minute” to me. sort of rushed.
The Tail is nice, no faulting that. I think the english titles could use a different font to liven it up a little.
One thing that would instantly make me turn this down is the way the red follows the hump on the 747. That, to me, just looks wrong. If anything the red line should follow a straight line, ala Northwest old colours.
Can’t quite articulate exactly what I want to say. Closest I get is “lines don’t flow right”
This is going on my experience in livery design.
sorry for being negative… its just the way I see it, coming from my experince so far.
In any case, anything is an improvement on their current dated look.

I like it.

I really like this Nasir. I like the way that the sharpness of the red contrasts with the smooth grey lines. It uses the existing livery well too.

If you really are presenting to the board remember that they will want to see a complete design concept. How will your ideas look on advertising, web site, stationary, signage etc. Make sure you have a complete package for them. The other thing you need to do is justify it all. The big question will be ‘how will this make more money for the company?’ If you can’t answer this then you haven’t got a hope! Time to role out all the wanky business lingo you can muster. ‘I feel that this design signifies a dynamic airline that is looking to the future…..!’
As for my opinion I rather like it. I’m not sure of the red roof though, I think you would do well to produce an orthographic projection to clearly show how this design would look in the real. If your feeling really flash you could render it in a 3d package. This will give a very good idea of what the real thing would look like but as I said the livery is only a small part of the package so don’t forget the rest of it. Good Luck.

The lightgrey doesn’t fit too god. It shouldn’t be red and white only however, but te lightgrey doesn’t seem to be at the right place.
Nice work.

Very nice work Nasir.
I agree with tenthije on the 747. The way it stays with the countour of the top of the fuselage, the way it stop at the forward end, and the point where it curves up into the tail could be played with abit. I love the use of the grey, or is it silver, on the fuselage. Maybe you could consider doing the engine covers in a different way, or perhaps add the logo to them. The only question I have is if the red you used is based from the current livery. Anyway, I think you did some good work.

I much prefer the 747 to be honest, it’s not a bad looking colour scheme.
Just one problem… that 737 is not a -600 series :p
By: tenthije - 13th July 2004 at 18:24
I like the 737, but the red top on the 744 does not look right in my opinion. Maybe you should just let it go on like NW did in their previous livery. Curving it upwards looks odd.
