New Finnair livery

Nice! I like it! 😀

Nice one Bemused55, just that small addition of colour certainly adds a welcomed lift to what is also a rather bland interior!:)

€10 million sounds about right.

I seriously would never propose such a bland, lifeless and cheap scheme to any customer apart from an LCC that told me “Make it cheap!”.

Has anyone seen the film Equilibrium?
Well, it seems the agency responsible for this overhaul is full of fans of the film. Take a look at their new interior:

And now, my suggestions:

Caught that in an email from the airline themselves ^ (a youtube video promoting the new scheme)

I’m guessing when they say the cost of the new look is around $10m, they mean the cost of the contracting work, the painting, the rebranding etc – not just the cost of someone doing the design.

The carrier, which has been struggling to overturn losses, says the cost of the new look is around €10 million ($13 million)…

€10 million for that…no wonder they are struggling to overturn losses!:eek:

I have a friend in Canada who does freelance airline livery designs as a hobby right now…am sure he’d have been more than able and willing to of designed something for them, and he definatley wouldn’t have charged them that kind of price, in fact he’d have probably done it for less than €1 million.

Such a shame it just looks so bland, however, the only redeeming feature it does have in its favour is that I do like the actual font that has been used for the letter of the “Finnair” titles.;)

Finnair have launched this today and the aircraft has now had the “f” taken off of the winglets and the engine covers… so even more bland!

They say modern in the article. It might have been in the mid 90s when such schemes were the rage.

The guys here at Air Livery, Norwich, can and have done, a much better Finnish airline colour scheme in the recent past ……

Keith.

And to think, some agency will have been paid millions for that.
It’s cheap, nasty, unimaginative and dated.

Gents, we can restart our complaints. Above color (or lack off) scheme was launched as the official new livery today

In the words of my Finnish friends from uni …. vittu …. :eek::mad:

He guys, don’t get your nickers in a twist just yet.

Finnair is stil working on their new livery. This A340 has got a temporary titles in the mean time.
If the new livery is just is bad we can start over again.

If you’re going this minimalist you may just as well put a small Finnair logo by each door and of course the obligatory registration and leave it at that:( I sincerely hope that as MD80 says its an interim scheme.

No, just, no!

I think that this picture only shows the interim-version of a new livery? Just awful – like many new liveries…

Regards!

Must be the recession – it sure is hitting Nokia one of Finland’s other big players

It’s gross as colours – Must be the recession – it sure is hitting Nokia one of Finland’s other big players – the way the scythe is going through Nokia’s workforce worldwide

underwhelming – like most modern schemes.

Well, I share everybody’s opinion here: just ugly!

I have always liked Finnair colours but this is awful.
