“New Livery Unveiled
At an employee event today in San Francisco, United unveiled the company’s new aircraft livery, a bold, yet simple design and color scheme representing the spirit of the United brand.
“There is literally no bigger symbol for the company than our planes,” said John Tague, executive vice president – Customer. “This livery moves us away from the gray, sending an important signal about where this company is headed, with a focus on improving and on providing our customers with the service and the product that they deserve.”
The new livery establishes a consistent look across United’s integrated product portfolio, from its planes to EasyCheck-In terminals to United.com. Aircraft with the new livery will have a dark blue belly, a bright white top, and large, bold ‘United’ lettering printed on the front sides of the plane. In San Francisco, United unveiled two aircraft with the new livery – a mainline 777, and a United Express regional jet, parked alongside a new Ted A320 aircraft and a Star Alliance 767 aircraft with Star Alliance’s new livery.
United’s restructuring and cost controls have established a firm foundation for further investment in customers and the brand. United expects that approximately 72 planes will be painted with the new livery by the end of 2004. Only planes that are due for repainting, or new aircraft that will be delivered to our United Express partners, will be taken out of service and painted with the new livery. “

I think the “U”s on the tail are too indistinct and it needs a bit more “red” somewhere. I have always associated United with a Red/White/Blue livery and the red seems to have disappeared somewhat.
The previous livery was a bit too dark for me and too like the Landor BA scheme.

I agree that this one is much better than TED’s .
However the old grey c/s is far ahead.

It looks fantastic even on the RJ! The logo on the tail is absolute genious. They did a tremendous job on this livery. The 3 shades of blue on the cheatline, plus the royal blue belly and engines and the tail. Font on the titling is nice as well. Significantly, above average.

There new corporate livery is so good. Fair enough the Grey one was a classic…for a while but it was the sort of livery that would age very quickly indeed.:(

I went to the website and no picture. I’m assuming it’s that 777 that was posted a few days ago taken in VCV.

That’s what the S.O.B’s did with my retro pay! I hate United Airlines. I hope they rot in failed airline hell!

i liked the grey one, for a while, but it has aged a lot very quickly,
i really like the new one, its fresh, it will not age,
all they need to do now, in the interior of there planes, easpically economy, i flew with the 4 time last year and there economy is not nice, and i was on my faviote plane the 777, continental must be one of the nicest economys i have flown on recently.
