The AF new livery suits the A380 very well. IMO the best A380 livery so far.

Well that's probably what it will be after a year in AF's fleet.

Please AF, keep your A380's looking squeaky clean!

That's why they invented those perfume and fragrant sprays. I don't know if that works for a plane

Sorry but I just do NOT like the new Air France logo - especially with the two words combined into ONE!

It's just bad graphical design - it might look OK on a letterhead, but on the side of an airplane it looks bad, and makes it hard to read - even though we all know what it means.

It should be "AIR FRANCE" and NOT "AIRFRANCE".

At the VERY least, is should be "AIRFRANCE"

Good point I agree. So MarinerOne should be Mariner One?

Yes, absolutely agree that the words AIRFRANCE should be separated like this, it looks a lot better. Not sure if AIR FRANCE would look better than AIR FRANCE. Though the new red at the end logo looks much better and more modern than the previous one IMO.

My moniker is OK because I capitalized the "One" ... in terms of "Air France" they could have gone with ...

AirFrance

as another option to make it easier to read ... or emphasize the "A" and "F" slightly taller ...
