Raghdad Airbus A320-200 (Sharklets)

Hey! You based that design from the secret files I sent you!

Name and font could be a lot better, fuselage lines are somewhat wonky, tail logo could be smaller. Overall a decent little concept

And I'm working with some more of them

Raghdad is what my ex-Seabee Iraq War vet called Baghdad

Actually, name come from a story similar to that.

Font is Eirik Raude, and I kinda like it because it doesn't look too formal, and has some ethnic feel to it, although yes, there are some thickness differences here and there... well, free font.

Fuselage lines following the roundness of the fuselage. It's parallel with the text on fuselage. A lot of people in AE don't put that into consideration. Maybe you should. And anyway, Med made that.

With smaller logo, tail looks too empty for me. I need to balance it since the design is a bit crowded on the fuselage.

Thank you very much for the feedback.

Looks amazing, though idk about the feasibility of an Iraqi LCC.

Haha. I do have a background story for this, but I don't really want to write it down. But if you know the origin of the name and read the description, you probably can figure it out.

I do not know of the private jokes there, but overall a pretty nice design!

I do agree with my attention to detail (should I say obsession?) about the fact that logos and lines on the fuselage have to follow the shape of it, but I think it is a bit overdone here on the front logo, and I do wonder: if you look at the fuselage from a perfect straight angle, wouldn't a diagonal line (such as the one you put here) appear straight, meaning not curved? That's without taking into account the fact that the fuselage tappers narrower and narrower towards the back, in which case you wouldn't need to "curve" your design for anything that's before, say, the back passenger door.

Also (legit question here), are you allowed/supposed to paint the antennas other than white?

Exactly this, realism contra what looks best. Realism isn't always the best format for, say, this.

No, actually it's underdone since A320 fuselage isn't actually round, but more egg-shaped (I think they call it dual-sphere or something). What I'm doing is simply trying to give feel of roundness. I have my own formula of partial distortion by using simple trigonometric rules. It's not accurate and I don't aim to be accurate, I just believe it's better than leaving it flat.

And also, even from perfect straight angle, diagonal line won't appear straight. I don't have example for diagonal lines, but I hope the example with circle shape below can show you that.

Just decide which one looks more realistic to you.

As for the antennas, I admit I don't know if it's allowed to paint them other than white, but I see some airlines do that with their livery, so I guess why not.
