I love the tail and logo, can't say I like the grey though.

Is this your design or what? I'm confused.

So...what's in the article is the actual livery. Where on earth did you get the random design posted here from? Did you even look at the link you posted? :lol:

New AA livery is not so hot! :hrmm: I understand the need for "change" but meh! At least the classic "silver" AA fuselage could have been retained!

I like the classic bare metal as well. However, they would have had to make a new livery anyway, given the fact that bare metal wouldn't work so well on the new composite planes (787s and what not) they have on order. I wasn't a super big fan of the new livery at first glance. But, I'm growing to like it even more with each passing day :)

The livery I just looked it up on Google and got the image lol, and my apologies Iain, but that's not my design, that's the newest design from an artis rendition.
