Detla Adds New Bling

[Sherpa]

As it nears the end of its bankruptcy case, Delta Air Lines is preparing to roll out a new paint scheme for its jets — the third such repackaging in 10 years.
Delta is expected to unveil the new livery soon after its scheduled emergence from Chapter 11 at the end of this month. The airline isn't saying much officially, other than to acknowledge a new paint job might be in the works as part of a larger post-bankruptcy marketing campaign.

I've heard talk of new chrome spinner wheels for its "Spirit of Atlanta" jet.

Seriously, if I see one more "oversized, obviously doesn't fit on tail" stylized logo... I am going to spaz.

Maybe instead of spending all their money on paint schemes they can stop asking their employees for paycuts.

 

[AMANSWORLD]

DAL is a sorry excuse for a company after asking for paycuts!

 

[SPDBRD747400]

What a crappy looking new paint job...what a waste of money. What a slap in the face for all those who had to take pay cuts.

 

[Metro752]

Looks like Air Canada.

I dislike it. It looks to me like they screwed it up or were too dumb to realize it wouldn't fit. Why do they need to reinvent their image? Hell, half the paying fare pax prob don't even know they are in chap 11. Same old junk. What's wrong with the old one? Besides, if it ain't broken, don't fix it.

At least it's not the NWA's "Northeast Airlines" logo.

Now we'll have four different paint schemes in service with the same airline! YAY!

 

[Gobi Gred]

The old one is way better and isn't even outdated looking yet! This new one is boring! I personally like Expressjet's new scheme on their independent airplanes. Maybe not my first choice of colors but original nonetheless.

DOLLA DOLLA BLING BLING!

 

[Going2Baja]

The new paint is going to be a "Red Tail" with an arrow in the corner. These will come with new hubs in MSP & DTW.

Baja.

Baja...you need to stop drinking south of the border. They have absolutely ZERO chance of merging those two companies. The synergies are too far apart. Now Continental and Delta...now you have something!!

Back to the post...that paint scheme SUCKS! They need to go back to the ole Black nose and Widget paint job. That was Delta...not this other crap!

 

[John Pennekamp]

Terrible! They should have kept the Pepsi can/Gay Pride tail.

This new widget tail is totally ugly.

 

[Sinca3]

No doubt that is by far the UGLIEST paint scheme DAL has ever put on an airplane. Save the money and leave things alone........

 

[atlcrashpad]

Sumbody say BLING?.... Bouyyyyyyyyyyyyyy....

 

[Dassault747]

My god that is ugly. Graphic designers must be in short supply these days.

Amen!
