I already had a bad feeling about it when I saw some concepts, and it ended up being the worst one.
Usually I adore rebrandings/new liveries, but having my own home carrier’s livery become… this is a bit of a punch in the gut.
Don’t know what Lufthansa were thinking (I’m like 95% sure they had a lot to do with this), but they somehow made a Eurowhite livery look bad.
Still though, I’m sure it’ll grow on me, however long it might take (seeing it every time I go spotting will certainly help). Not the worst thing ever, but could’ve definitely been made better.
Is that a special livery at least or they plan to use it for real ? I’l sorry but that sounds like a joke !
If not we better tell em by email , on social media that it’s not it !
Nope, this is their new “normal” livery. I watched the press conference/reveal (while in school, hehe).
The 2nd A319 is already at East Midlands getting the new scheme as well.
I’ve seen my fair share of backlash on social media (many people comparing it to Croatia Airlines and Vueling, which is totally understandable).
We can only hope the higher ups actually pay attention to this backlash and do something about it, but I doubt they’d change the livery very soon after it was just revealed.
I’m pretty sure they were all just fanmade (probably should’ve worded it better than just “concepts”) or speculations of what it could be.
But this was one I saw a few days ago (I’ll put it behind a spoiler since this is technically a request thread for this livery, plus it’s on an A320neo).
While it’s a downgrade from their previous livery, I personally don’t see the hate for the look of it’s livery itself. It’s not bad, but it’s also not the greatest design they could’ve chose.
Forgot to mention, I’m digging the font they used.
While many people dislike it because of that (mostly Belgian enthusiasts), or simply the lack of anything recognisable from the previous livery or something “Belgian” in the first place, it was also pretty bad timing.
I’m sure a lot of people have also already seen it being compared to Croatia Airlines and/or Vueling a few times (further up the thread for example). Or straight up smallpox.
That is totally valid, I personally don’t see anything wrong with that font. If anything, it’s my favourite thing about the livery and the only thing I really find “better” compared to the “old” livery.
I see your points, The concepts given were definitely better. They could’ve added a bit more to make it less dull. I’m all for simplistic liveries though.
