Mohd Suhaimi Fariz 2 Report post Posted April 22, 2012 So... The actual livery on the a380 is different from what they advertise and on the website. The paintjob's not completely finished yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Timothy 1 Report post Posted April 24, 2012 (edited) Have always thought the A380 as an ugly bird (whale jet). Yet these 2 pics are starting to sway my opinion: 1st displays a very determined nose, while the 2nd has an exceptionally elegant (mathematical) sweep and those engines !! . Definitely looking forward to riding her in August ... ugly livery or not ! Edited April 24, 2012 by Timothy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JingKai Seah 0 Report post Posted April 24, 2012 guys.. I've been thinking.. it seems that MH is changing their corporate branding? Because the new livery for A380 as we see in this thread, is all blue.. no red at all.. and I've been receiving their newsletters in my email inbox and the logos also do not have any red colours anymore.. IMHO, I think the reason is probably because color RED seems to be the current situation they are in (loss making instead of profit making).. and maybe they are superstitious or just want people not to associate MH with RED (the color of negative income?) and thus the new logo of blue only?

Captain Radzi did put it rather eloquently I think Most want to siphon-off profit, but some want to kill off the company. In one instance the red blood have been sucked off, leaving a deathly pale blue..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peter Andersan 0 Report post Posted April 25, 2012 I strongly agreed with you. Even for 777 also is now blue .. red = lost ... Hope MAS coming as future best airlines .. guys..

RUBBISH ! MH logo was red from day 1 till 1987 n was profitable every year then except in 1982 ( about that time). it all balls down to the need for forward thinking leaders with no interest in making money today n don't care what its consequences in the future.

Landor= lan duo= lazy in Mandarin. So this special livery only applies to A380. What happened to rebranding? Apparently true at this point of time, the A380 is considered a different league of aircraft for MH. Current newly- delivered A330s and B737 will retain the swoosh livery. Older aircraft with cheatlines will be retired gradually, except B777. This leaves us which livery will be done on B777s. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

THEREFORE MH will be the only carrier with more than one livery ! Well done! reflects the difficulty in deciding a simple thing. What's next, why not multi crew uniforms by sector and aircraft type?

Josh T 0 Report post Posted April 26, 2012 Since The B777 will be retained for long-haul routes, the livery should be repainted the same as the A380 and they can completely refurbish the planes with the same seats that's also on the A380. This will provide product consistency on the long-haul routes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
