Thought I would post this in here seeing as it is related to specific images (not taken by myself!), but if MODs feel it necessary to move, please feel free to do so.
Seeing as I work at Heathrow, I am used to seeing CO/UA’s aircraft on a daily basis, and we’ve already begun having B752’s and B777 aircraft in the new “United” livery (as shown below in first photo, but on a B737!)…but does anyone actually like it at all?
Do you think that perhaps they’ve got it the wrong way round…maybe they should have gone for the CO “globe” design, but used the current UA colours/styling instead?
That said, I can’t wait to see one of UA’s B744’s in the new livery…will be great to see the CO design on a 747 again, just like on their previous B742 below, except this time it will have “United” titles on the fuselage:
Feel free to leave your comments below.

I saw one re titled 757 at MAN a couple of weeks ago…i tend to agree that hopefully sommin nicer is in the pipeline!

I got to see it first hand on a 757 last week when I was in Orlando (got some shots of it), but I can’t say I like it. The CO design is sleek and well known, true… but very dull. The UA livery is so much better. So its a shame that something creative couldn’t be done with that instead. I do realise though, that it was probably down to cost at the end of the day, and the what they have done was obviously the cheaper option.
Leaves me cold I’m afraid. Maybe there’s something nice in store further down the line.

I think it looks fine. I saw one on a B777 on saturday but was just getting out of the car so didnt get a pic sadly.
