Updated the Northern Air. I think this looks much better than my old design.

Better, but still not good. 

 

First of all, what's up with that logo? An upwards tick and the letter N? You could do better than that.

Secondly, what's up with the font? It's visible now, but the choice is still sub-par.

Thirdly, the colours (and gradient) you've used just clash with each other. It's a mess.

Fourthly, where'd the door outlines go? You kind of need those.

 

I'd go back to the (literal) drawing board, maybe check out BFS' Northern gallery beforehand.

My 4th livery. A fictional livery for SQ 21. I feel like I should do something with the skylines but this is all I could come up with.

The Singapore skyline on top of the SIA livery cheatlines reminds me of the poem "Where The Sidewalk Ends."

Hello, my in-game airline is Key West Airlines. If anybody is willing to give some feedback on this livery that is much appreciated.

 

As a livery, this kind of stands out to me. The color choice (salmon and blue, contrasting colors), font (something default), and logo (a generic beach scene) don't especially strike me as well-thought-out.

 

In terms of coloration, Key West should either follow the Floridian standard of bright tones (red, orange, and I guess salmon), or take advantage of its surrounding by water and go for cool colors (blue, teal, aqua, etc.). Mixing both together leads to clashing, although there are some rare circumstances (America West, for example) where it just happens to work. I'd recommend the website coolors.co as a place to find numerous complementary palettes, although I should note that not all the colors they suggest actually look nice on planes. 

 

For the font, the late 90's had what I'd call "the Last Serif Standing," as well as the "Sans-Serif 101" period. Many airlines either brought out the last and best of serif designs (United's Battleship Grey, TWA's final livery, Delta's "Wavy Gravy," etc.) or experimented with sans-serif fonts (Swissair's final scheme, Japan Airlines' "Arc of the Sun" livery, Sabena's final scheme, etc.) around now. For Key West, the American trend of a serif font would be nice to see here, but in a darker and more noticeable color than salmon (try looking at Oggey's "Independence" for reference). 

 

The logo may be what I have the most qualms about. It's generic, uninspired, and the fact it needs to be cut into an ovular shape proves its misplacement on an aircraft. Key West may be known as a vacation destination, but beaches don't tend to do well as logos. I'd recommend making a simple palm tree logo instead, or making a wordmark logo with "KW" somewhere in an Air Florida-esque livery.

 

The livery you presently provide isn't great, but it's a good start towards making a refined, time-applicable livery. I'm excited to see what you come up with.

Brighten the colors up tonally and you have a winner.  This looks like a modern throwback and I really like it.

 

On an operations note, Key West is a horrible place for a hub.

SAPSA lay dormant until now when I released a modern-day livery to represent it, with a rooster being featured as its logo. Thoughts?

1. You stole from yourself with the partial cheatline. Even then, it doesn’t work as well as it does on Interluft.
2. Roosters are more recognized as a French symbol, and even then your logo is too abstract to convey what it is. Also, Mexicana.
3. Font’s too bold. Tone it down.
4. The engines look odd not being coloured, and the opposite is true with the winglet.

Who knows, third time’s the charm.

I used the rooster because it's also a national symbol of Portugal. What could be a better logo?

Hello everyone. Made my first livery. Luftkonglomerat (Yes, I know the name bites) is influenced largely by Air France, Lufthansa and British Airways. Hoping for some criticism and ways to improve it.Attached File  9816C60A-9329-45E2-A1CB-701C19007ED6.png   131.45KB   0 downloads

Doesn't look luxurious to me.

Here's a cargo airline I'm fiddling with called Pony Express. Created the old livery a few years ago, and the new livery earlier today.

No bucks to give, and none the wiser.
