United Shows Off Minor Update to 1991 Continental Livery for 787
Our 787 fleet will be painted with the globe livery but will get its own unique twist: the gold line along both sides of the fuselage will feature a special swoop from nose to tail. Our design is inspired by Boeing’s trademarked swoop, and pays tribute to our long history of working together. (hub.united.com) المزيد...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
To me the swoop looks OK but trendy. Maybe 'cause its new to me. As far as the original '91 livery goes it still looks great. It's always a plus when a company can get a logo that lasts. It helps immensely with brand identification. Correct me if I'm wrong but the old United has had 3 liveries since '91. Delta has had I don't know how many, 3?. They change liveries because the old ones don't work. How much money does that cost? When Joe Public looks at a logo and identifies the brand (in a good way) marketing is winning. CocaCola hasn't changed there logo in how many years? Time will tell if the '91 CO livery will stick. My guess is if the new UA can't turn around its service the '91 livery will have a negative association and it will be changed.
Why don't you ask the CAL pilots what they want...since UNITED is on the fuselage......CAL should have final say on the paint.....it might be the red/gold of the '70s......
I could look at that bird all day no matter what livery is on her!!
I just hope their quality of service matches the quality of the 787. Though, that's really expecting a lot from United.
I've kept my mouth shout for a long time on this. Continental's paint job on a United jet. It's like super-glam lipstick on a pig. A really worn-out rode hard and put away wet pig.
People if United wasn't such an effed-up dog before the merger they would have never used the Continental branding, website, operational cert or leadership.

Can't wait for Air Canada to get there's in late 2013/early 2014 :D. United is meh reminds me of the crappy Continental Airline's. I rather the grey and blue united livery over this. Dislike
