Rozhan 0 Report post Posted December 14, 2012 I grew up with the first livery, and that was the time MAS was at the peak in terms of inflight products of its time. My choice is of course the red one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Johan Z 0 Report post Posted December 14, 2012 I voted for 1987-2010. I used to hate it back then, but compared to swoosh and blue stripes, this livery is the best. It really represents MH and fits well on 747, A330, 777 and 737 and I'm growing up with this livery Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tamizi Hj Tamby 1 Report post Posted December 15, 2012 (edited) No.2 for me; I'm growing up seeing this livery on the F50 & 737-400s. Edited December 15, 2012 by Tamizi Hj Tamby Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Waiping 12 Report post Posted December 15, 2012 1987-2010 is also my choice. Not too complicated or simple, and that sexy cheatline. No one does it anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AlvinLvK 0 Report post Posted December 15, 2012 seriously the red and blue swoosh livery only looks good on a NB aircraft, like the 738...compare to the a330(too 'white/empty')...I will go for this livery Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Adrian M 0 Report post Posted December 15, 2012 1987-2010 livery for me. Love it applied on F50 back in the days. Timeless modern look without feeling old and it still suits well now. Livery consistency during that era and well presentation of a corporate identity. 1972-1987 Red tail logo is also timeless. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
amanairways 0 Report post Posted December 15, 2012 Actually none of the above . However the most solid in terms of design ie impact and image ...was the original red and 2 stripes. MH should just fine tune it and adapt it rather than change so much. The last 3 versions have been forgettable and appears weak. The last design ie the blue one is so bad that I think there must have been a mistake. The tail with just the blue wau and a white background makes no impact all ! The curvy stripes do help the body but it needs some connection with the tail . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Josh T 0 Report post Posted December 15, 2012 (edited) I voted for 1987-2010 too. I love the original one because I grew up with it but I definitely think the 87-10 livery still looks modern and classic. Edited December 15, 2012 by Josh T Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Abd 0 Report post Posted December 15, 2012 Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't there 2 versions of the red-white livery? One with the red 'malaysian' title and the other one black with full 'malaysian airline system' as above? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rozhan 0 Report post Posted December 15, 2012 "Malaysian" livery came later, sometime 1981 or so. There is yet another cheatline variation which connects right up to the tail. Didn't see this myself but there is a photo of it on sale at ebay. Also several hybrid ones on DC10 haj flights. By the time "Malaysian" livery came about, inflight meals such as sandwiches for economy short sectors disappeared, and fares crept upwards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(is it correct?) Not sure about that. The annual reports of up to the first 10 years of MAS showed it was profitable though, so some bonus was probable. One old timer I know (a former station manager) is upset... disgusted with the state of affairs in MAS nowadays. He is even delighted that his son is now working with EK! This is the link to the unusual livery, perhaps a one off? http://www.ebay.com/itm/POSTCARD-LIMITED-ISSUE-AIRPLANE-737-MALAYSIA-MALAYSIAN-AIRLINE-SYSTEM-airplanes-/160936829888?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item25789523c0 I can't recall any peanuts back then, but there were MAS-branded sweets, cigarettes even.... I still have a small collection of match boxes. Elizabeth Arden toileteries, real cotton face towels, stacks of mini soaps etc in the washroom... And thoughtful gifts for First Class. And they were quality gifts e.g. Cross pens, Noritake cruet sets... Edited December 15, 2012 by Rozhan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
