    I liked the bare metal look. I also liked United's tulip. By the reactions of some, you would think the antichrist himself had come to the airline industry and destroyed all that was pure and good by changing these iconic/beloved/perfect liveries. I find it particularly humorous regarding the United tulip. When United/Continental merged, there was so much "outrage" at the keeping of the Continental globe in favor of the tulip. The thing is, they kept the United name. Something had to be given to the Continental employees and, in a few years, when United comes up with a new livery, even that will be gone. When that happens, I fully expect the United traditionalists to be angry and upset if they do not bring back the tulip! Same for American: "Bring back the AA!" "Bring back the stripes!" "Bring back the scissored eagle!" Oh well, as long as we are at it, can Delta change its name to Western and bring back the Chieftain livery? At least bring back Wally Bird!

      Sometimes airlines bring back the old livery/logo. Japan Airlines comes to mind. The crane is back on the tail.

    I voted KLM. Nothing at all against my Dutch friends. The airline has a great history. It is just that the prices some of the models with the KLM livery reaches is mind boggling to me.

      Air France, because they really didn't do much to change their livery. All they did was take off the space between Air France and added a red stripe at the end. Seems economical because they don't really have to do much with paint, but at the same time. White is becoming the new trend for airlines.

      I accidentally voted for AA bare metal liveries.. I actually like the bare metal liveries a lot. It's the new ones that look cheap to me.

        I guess the topic was 'overrated' liveries, so I should have read more carefully..

      I'm going to vote for more than one, since they deserve it imo

        In hindsight i don't know if it was obvious that you could vote for more than one.

      And my vote goes to... American Airlines

      They can do better. Never liked the bare metal, nor do I like the current livery.
