I don't quite know why, but using the term "meatball" for these liveries just annoys the hell out of me

...the correct term/name for the livery is contrails, not meatball, no matter how universally it seems that meatball is used. Saul Bass of Landor Assoc. must twirl in his grave every time the term meatball is used! Just like how the preceeding liveries featured a Thunderbird, NOT an eagle (off-topic, but i cringe when I see that, too).

IS THAT SO MUCH TO ASK????
