More boring white planes. And no iconic "iB" logo to speak of. Dumb. Dumb. Dumb. Like United dropping its "tulip" U logo. Continental forgoing its "contrails/meatball" logo. TWA blowing up its "double globes" logo.
Attention all young artists: putting your fresh stamp on a well-known brand does NOT mean you should obliterate all remnants of the past. I shudder to think what the much-anticipated new AA livery will look like. Nothing can top gleaming bare-metal aircraft. Not even silver paint.

Some people over on airliners.net think this isn't the newly-proposed IB livery. I hope they're right- the tail isn't bad, but the Eurowhite fuselage on every airline's new paint job is getting tiresome. JAL's new livery looks unfinished.

Yeah, I don't see it from any legit source either. Is this a case where somebody drew up a 'what if' livery for fun, and it got passed along as a real thing?
What the F is up with yet another "tail dip" scheme? Another MS paint epic fail. There are now about twenty airlines with this " ten years ago" design.

I disagree, the new Air Pacific livery is georgous. Far better than the previous one in my opinion.
I think it's one of those liveries you either love or hate,it reminds me of PIA which i love,but for Air Pacific's new livery no...Even the names being changed to Fiji Airways...
Not impressed. They took a dozen steps backwards. There is nothing wrong with their current livery, it's better that they keep it than replace it with this. This is not the Iberia we know. In fact, this looks a lot like Finnair's new "livery", I hope this isn't becoming a Oneworld trend, and hopefully BA will never ever have a scheme that looks this bad. First JAL, then Finnair, now Iberia...

Yes, It appears as if a worrying epidemic of bland livery's are sprouting on all corners of the globe- I find myself asking what are the CEOs and marketers of these airlines thinking about their brand images when they degrade fine liveries? cost-cutting? at the expense of brand recognition? shame, and these people call themselves 'graphic designers" pffft......
How come nowadays most airliners paint theirs in all white and the vertical tails bear the logo? How boring!!! Cost cutting measure at collector's agony? DP

Nope, check the nacelle.....
It is coming.

So they're actually going through with this... I can't believe it!

Not necessarily. Please note this is a pre-delivery test flight aircraft at Toulouse with French test reg. Often test flights are made with incomplete liveries, especially if Iberia are not ready to unveil their new livery.

Nah, i can't believe that the IB crown logo is gone!? They will look like IB has merged with QF!? Shame on you oneworld! Your new liveries all suck: Finnair, Malaysia, Iberia, JAL, American. I wonder when BA and CX will repaint their 90s schemes with an all-white..

Looks like everyone is jumping on the all white with only the vertical tail showing their liveries. It is like in the 70's when cheat line is the norm. I am not a big fan of the latest schemes at all. DP
