I like that color on Korean Air Lines not this! The darker blue looks close to KAL anyway. Give me a bucket! Vah, Blah, Blah, Blah.... Oh I miss the bucket! I hate picking up vomit. It is Euro-White gone light blue! What a plain plane.

As a Graphic Designer it is poor taste to judge in this manner but I am busy!

There's some very questionable design practices going on in Britain lately.

I find the tail very weak. I like the colour on the fuselage.

I think the problem here is, there isnt any kind of visual connection between the name Britannia and the look of the plane.

Not just in Britain....Hapag Lloyd is getting the same colours: http://www.airliners.net/open.file?id=201935

Personally I think it sucks! Why ruin two perfectly good schemes?

More pablum puking eyesore's. I bet some bright marketing v.p. or C.E.O. thought this was "sharp looking" I think this scheme
sucks and looks like sh*t..!

Worse yet, no doubt they paid somebody a million bucks to come up with this pathetic, anemic, stillborn design, all
the while crying "poor,poor" & asking their employee's to take
a pay cut

What the hell is on the tail? It looks like a f*cked up "wink" smilie! Someone, somewhere has very poor taste... or vision.

Dam - another classy livery down the tubes. I think the only reason they are using bright red is so that the a/c doesnt look like it blends into the sky. =)

Thumbs down What a debacle!

This is just awful! This is the evil that is the marketing department at TUI's doing!... First Hapag-Lloyd and now Britannia? They look like giant tampons! It's not the blue fuselage that bothers me so much as the pairing of the pale baby blue tail and CHEAP red titles and that TUI logo which means nothing! Pretty soon all the airlines under this conglomerate will be melded into a single EC airline as they strip the lousy red titles off the fuselages. It would be more honest if they just shut these airlines down, assumed their assets, sold off the excess and started a new single TUI airline!

Goodbye Hapag-Lloyd, goodbye Britannia...
