To get stuff out of the way, yes I am a brony, and my content is going to be fictional and within the world of MLP.
Any negative responses to that is expected and I really don't have anything against your opinion, it's just a part of reality for me now.
And to any MLP fans here, I know it's fallen sorta out of fashion over the past eight years but we're still around.

Secondly, I've been working with my friends for the past idk, five or so years on a bunch of fictional airlines based around the MLP headcanon mythos called 'The Cirrus Group' (that's our fictional alliance), and I'd like to see how my livery designs would be received out of morbid curiosity.

So without further ado, here are the projects that I personally worked on. I do not claim complete ownership of these concepts, but I did create the livery design/redesign for most of them with their input, critique and suggestion (some more than others).
Templates used are a combination of Med's templates, Jetabout templates and Norebbo templates.

There are a few other airlines in our little alliance that was conceived and designed independently. Altogether we've been collaborating on our little 'project' away from the public eye for quite some time, and while I've heard some favorable comments from outsiders, I haven't really seen that input for myself. So, here I am.

Oh, and we've ported some of these liveries to flight simulators, just for the hell of it.

Wouldn't blame you, my fandom isn't exactly the most distinguished on the 'net.
But it's been there for me for a while now, and I have my fun with it this way. 

I'm just happy I've found ways to make all the colorful elements work in one way or another tbh.

Some of these are actually pretty nice.

 

I really like PEX, YAK, and SST. HMN isn't bad either.

 

I'd work on the names and the colors on some of them, but the designs are all really nice for the most part. ^_^

 

As far as these fandoms go, I will never understand them, but as long as everyone's happy, I'm happy.

Some of these are pretty good, some of them could use a complete redesign... For me the best ones are PEX and BLT...

Some of them I only have partial creative freedom with, so I had to make do with what's given to me.
