This image shows two Françair widebodies, both delivered to the French flag carrier in 1990, and both eventually ending up with Moscavia for the rest of their service lives (the 767 is actually the same aircraft I uploaded yesterday, and more on the 747 later). They are both depicted in the airline's 1981 livery, probably one of the first eurowhite designs to be adopted by any airline - and in fact likely the origin of the term 'eurowhite'. I designed this by extrapolating backwards from the more modern Françair livery that I've already published on an A380, and using a simplified pattern comprised of small French flags that can also be read as arrows pointing forward. I'm not 100% sure about this though, and I do think that it needs more of a logo. Depending on the response to this, I may go ahead and redesign the tail to add something more.


EDIT: Image reuploaded. the 767 is still in the first iteration of this design, while the 747 now has a redesigned tail pattern - any thoughts on whether this is better?



    The tail hurts my eyes, makes me feel dizzy

    Any ideas for what could work better?

    Also, Francair does not make any sense whatsoever...

    I'll see what I can do.

    Why's that? I thought it worked as a combination of 'Française' and 'Air'...is there some similar alternative that would work?

    Update: I've increased the size of the pattern, redesigned the shape of the arrows to make them fit together better, and added more colors. Is this any better, or am I locking myself into this pattern too much?
