Updated livery of Air France.

That red logo comes direct from CityJet.
And on the tail it`s to fat.
I hope that KLM don`t get it :wink:

Well, it could have been worse, by just using the "swoosh" as with Cityjet...

But a missed chance in my opinion!

Cheers! :wave:

That's just plain (or should I say 'plane') awful. Better not make any change at all when there's just so little difference. Money poorly spent. I think a lot of amateur photoshoppers could have come up with much better 'designs'. Did they hire the same guys that managed to sell Alitalia and Qantas that new look?

Coincidence that the lettertype font is the same as the new KLM housebrand :roll: ?

Yeah, as if Air France would look at tiny little KLM for their house font. Don't you think it might be the other way around? Since it's Air France - KLM and not KLM- Air France.

Enjoy the blue birds while you can, in a few years from now they will all be white with a Red White Blue tail. (my personal opinion).

Didn't you get the ironic hint in my post?

This font is just as new for AF as it is for KLM, so it is not like KLM is taking over AF house style like you are suggesting. In fact it is a nice to know that the new font is a mix of the KLM and AF font.

This is a change in the sense of "I must change the livery (To go with the flow) , But I don't want to".

Agree with you!

Normally when an airline changes its livery it is getting better (in my opinion) but the newest Mexicana + Click colours and Air France colours are too bad and aimless :?

Absolutly, can best be descriped by this quote from SkySports live update of the Arsenal-Cardiff game:
45'' How has he missed? He has an open goal but manages to hit the post! A stunning miss.
All this trouble to go from boring to boring :oops:
