Yea! or Nay!: Monarch Airlines

Gordon Werner · 03-21-2002, 02:48 PM

Folks ...

Yea? or Nay!: New Monarch Airline colorscheme:

Bill G · 03-21-2002, 03:05 PM

Uh, no. Kind of reminds me of the My Travel and Air JMC paint schemes and I don't care for those either.

Bill G

By the way, is it Air JMC or JMC Air? You sure can't tell by looking at their airplanes. The Caledonain paint scheme was such a classy looking one, I can't believe they replaced it with what they have flying now.

Jeremy · 03-21-2002, 03:34 PM

I'll say yea!
It is all right.

tdh8192 · 03-21-2002, 04:52 PM

I'd have to see it in a photograph first so I'm voting 'Hmm.'

IFTNFS · 03-22-2002, 01:09 AM

Not my favorite, and I wouldn't buy it in 1:400, but it's better than the lousy scheme they were painting on the Hapag Lloyd planes...

What's with the wavy blue. Looks like it sailing along the ocean.

AirDar · 03-22-2002, 04:25 AM

At LEAST it's not EuroWhite...

The wavy belly colors are confused looking and don't do anything for the form of the aircraft, or make it look swift... They also don't relate to the logo at ALL. The logo itself is reasonably clever though, in a 50's retro Madison Avenue kind of way...

It's better than MOST of the tripe I've seen coming out lately, but it doesn't make me want to fly with them...

Helmsman · 03-22-2002, 09:56 AM

I'd say ummmmm nay because I liked the old colours.

NEADC9 · 03-22-2002, 11:06 AM

Not overly thrilled!

Impman · 03-22-2002, 03:08 PM

That is disgusting, who is behind the dreadful colours that are appearing on UK airlines this year. First Britannia then MY Travel & now Monarch, yuk.

Nice, but we have other priorities...

Gordon Werner · 03-25-2002, 01:02 PM

added actual photo

Chansen · 03-25-2002, 01:08 PM

It is better and even with what white coverage it still is more thought out!

With exception to logo working with overall scheme. I would have continued yellow field on to the tail and had what is yellow in the logo reversed to white. Yellow fallow through to the nose would have been nice too!

Ozz · 03-25-2002, 05:02 PM

Nope, too white!

Gordon Werner · 03-26-2002, 01:12 PM

wasn't "G-MONE" a character in the film New Jack City?

Where's the drum roll and symbol crash after the joke Gordon?! Nice.....

Okay, so the livery is a bit wavy, but it's better than their old brown and yellow. That looked pretty gross. The new one is okay but doesn't do much for me.
