"Imagine, a world in which an airline's airline could succeed... where the little guy wasn't knocked back! Observe, Ted, having superseded United as the 'mainline' carrier, offering lower fares and shorter seat pitches for all classes!"

Continuing my stream of Boeing 747-400 liveries, I'd like to present one of my favourite livery/aircraft combinations: Canadian Airlines.

And a quick, simple scheme for my R4 carrier, Austrian:

Here is my latest Australian concept:

Here is a pair of american schemes I transferred from the respective airlines' 747s on the previous page. I'm not sure why I didn't upload them at the time but here we are!

Lovely work on that Australian effort I'll have to say. The stylized A reminds me of Ansetts final star mark livery to a degree which is nice. I also love your choice of colors for that livery and the fade. I've been trying to improve my works in photoshop but can't manage smooth gradient fades like that yet.

I'm currently contemplating where to start with making a livery and logo for my R2 airline Air Israel on an A300. All I've decided so far is something with the national flag featured in some way, a cheat line and a combination of English and Hebrew titles.
As for the logo I have no ideas yet.

Thanks deno! I'd suggest starting off with the El Al livery and working your way from there

I've been working on a new layout for my templates, what does everyone think? I also thought i'd jump on the Ansett bandwagon (Possibly my all time favourite airline!) and throw a quick olympic scheme together:

Stunning 4E, as always!

Amazing

Thanks techno, royen!

I'm working on a few new banners, which do you prefer AE?

In total comfort, for sure.

Is there any particular reason, 4E, you insist on using that typeface? Completely contradicts the feel you're trying to express with the images.

I'm curious - why do you believe that it "contradicts the feel"?
It works quite well in my book.

The typeface is far too rigid and 'technical' if you know what I mean? The images themselves suggest a civilized, relaxed environment on board, opposing the view expressed by the typeface, which I have to say looks terribly unprofessional in it's use of wide spacing between words and the inconsistent use of capital letters to begin sentences.

Now you put it like that I can see where you are coming from.

To my mind, however, the atmosphere is "calm", maybe "elegant", but certainly "modern" (especially in the first and the last image). The typeface suggests modernity to me, probably for the same reasons as you say it is "technical".

I do agree on the capitalisation of wording though - I hadn't noticed at first, it appeared that everything was in lower case. Now you've drawn my eye to it, I can't stop seeing the "W". I suggest it all goes to lower case.

I agree with SpeedBird regarding the poor font choice considering the attempted feel that is incorporated in the rest of the image. The font looks "Techno" like.

My apologies for the capitalised 'w', that was a simple mistake. I wouldn't go so far as to say it completely contradicts the 'feel', especially since australian (uncapitalised) will operate as a hybrid full service / low cost carrier. I continue to use that font in particular because I think it correctly conveys that theme; modern, clean, simple - everything australian intends to be.

.... also, I couldn't find one I liked better ( ), and by using the font again, i'm maintaining some level of consistency across my australian branding

Edit: For reference, other fonts I've used for my australian branding can be seen on the 'Its how we fly' livery, towards the top of this page, and the Club Australia cards on the previous page of this showcase. The font used in the above billboards is that used for my Ocean Card and Australian Express/World branding items, which are also located on the previous page.

Just a minor detail, I dont recall ever seeing a credit card with LastName, FirstName. I think they are usually FirstName MiddleName LastName...at least all the ones I have are. I may be corrected on this with an international card or such.
