Johan Z 0 Report post Posted October 16, 2010 I think this livery would look much better on longer aircraft, 777 but not sure about 747 or A380. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sandeep G 1 Report post Posted October 16, 2010 hmmm... I don't know how attractive this will look on 744/777 and definately the A380... Would have liked to see the Red and Blue wave's interchanged, with the rear wave continuing and covering the tail (in blue) and the wau in a monotone red instead of the double tone red/blue... there's too much white. I like the malaysiaairlines though. hmmm... I don't know how attractive this will look on 744/777 and definately the A380...

I like the malaysiaairlines though. Better yet, make the wau in gold. We're talking about MAS after all. As for the new livery can't say I like it or hate it, but I do think it could use a bit of yellow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Johan Z 0 Report post Posted October 16, 2010 After watching that video a few times, I think I like the livery. It could be better, of course, but it's really hip and simple. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yusoff 1 Report post Posted October 16, 2010 Surprised that most of us here like or OK about the livery. Everyone at A.Net hates it. Personally, I found it looks kinda leaning towards 'el cheapo' looks category. but just like what Liam said, I'd rather say it after seeing it in the flesh...

Samuel Chy 0 Report post Posted October 16, 2010 i prefer if they smaller the "airlines". and the tail section add more colour. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alif A. F. 0 Report post Posted October 16, 2010 The plane looks like it was bleached, highly bleached...and suddenly a highly contrasting color is pasted on it...I was thinking maybe they should make the wau a bit wavy and bigger with shadowy tones on it...or adapt MAS watercolour scheme adverts/promos to the livery...

Ruiz Razy 1 Report post Posted October 16, 2010 Nice! Not the change that I had feverishly hoped for ... looks like a quick-fix update done in-house. wau bulan logo is not given an update. KC Sim FYI, MH logo is not Wau Bulan it is Wau Kucing. Most do get mistaken for Wau Bulan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Raymond Lim 2 Report post Posted October 16, 2010 (edited) Looks great 9M-MXA ... 'stingray' livery? http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4150/5084627967_3b1519b3bf_o.jpg Remember I told you something new happen. This is it. If I'm not wrong this will be flying in November 1st in Subang with some grand official celebration. New this 2 month ago but cannot leak the news about this as strict instruction from my source. There should be a B777-200 in this color too. Edited October 16, 2010 by Raymond Lim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Johan Z 0 Report post Posted October 16, 2010 I have seen more colours on a SKS-KL bus compared to this Have you seen EK, AF, QF or LH livery? All of them are white fuselage with either a billboard title (EK) or just plain white with beautiful tails. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Azfar 0 Report post Posted October 16, 2010 Have you seen EK, AF, QF or LH livery? All of them are white fuselage with either a billboard title (EK) or just plain white with beautiful tails. Unfortunately, MH is no EK, AF, QF or LH. All three c/s with the sole exception of AF does not make them look like a LCC. This one screams out just that. To be honest I was expecting more from MH, seeing they have came out with the heliconia/hibuscus combo in the past but then they came out with this. Fresh, yeah but it is too bland and boring. I doubt that it will have much impact on the general public with this c/s. Even AK have more colours on their a/c compared to this and i never liked AF c/s anyway. Just my 2sen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pieter C. 5 Report post Posted October 16, 2010 IMHO definitely an improvement with the current 737 colourscheme... Don't know if it would look nice on the 744, though... Agree with KC: they should have 'done' something to the wau... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Timothy 1 Report post Posted October 17, 2010 I think it would have been much nicer if the blue & red bands were thicker. From the video, the plane doesn't stand out as much as the previous livery. Also, why did they have to change "malaysia" to malaysiaairlines ? the new 2 tone title seems pretty cheap imho. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sri Ramani K. 0 Report post Posted October 17, 2010 More colours = increase in weight = more fuel burn of = absorb more heat = higher operating cost.Beauty not necessary cost efficient. If that is the case, I suggest an all primer livery! That way we can save colours, less weight, less fuel burn, less heat absorption and lower operating cost. Come on, cost isn't the issue here. If it was, it would only have one single malaysia wording there to differentiate MH and the rest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
