Though the Crimson Streamer colors were still fresh, a new livery for the 1980s was thought after. Designer Baul Sass was brought back to create the livery. In 1979 the new scheme was introduced on the 727-200 aircraft though it quickly made its way into the rest of the fleet in the coming years.
The Boeing 757-200 shown above was one of two new Boeing types introduced during the Scarlet Voyager run, the other being the Boeing 767-300ER. 6 Boeing 757s were ordered in July 1981, intended as a replacement for some of the airline’s 727s. Satisfied with the type, the carrier went on to order an additional 10 examples in the late 1980s.
I think that of the liveries you posted this one is the weakest for the Midwestern brand and given that the 80s are my spiritual home and this is a livery that supposedly existed for most of the 80s I have comments. I think for one the United callback is a little too strong here and ends up feeling a little more derivative than you want to be. As much as some airlines did carry relatively minimalist majority white liveries through this period you'll make something that feels much more quintessentially 80s if you go for lots of colour. Specifically, the font looks good but particularly with the low belly this just doesn't fit quite right into the period its supposed to represent. Overall good work and I look forward to more lmk if you have questions.
