New Livery Unveiled Aug. 23

I kept looking at the grey on there and kept thinking that maybe it was the letter "S" from US Airways. Perhaps the name on the side of the plane is a larger font like AWA uses on the sides of their airplanes.

I took another look at it and it does look like an S and not the HP squigglies they have now. I remember seeing something about "billboard" style lettering and this would fit the bill in regards to that. It would also mean that the USAirways wouldnt be in uptight stuffed shirt font (I couldnt find that exact wording on my computer, but I'm sure everyone knows what I mean) but a more relaxed and stylized version. Whatever the outcome, I am looking forward to the unveiling next week.

Just an observation. I noticed that the "S" in U "S" Airways-at the bottom of the screen is smack down in the center of the partially "opened" curtain.....maybe it's a clue about the letter "S"??? Coincidence? Maybe, maybe not... MarkMyWords might indeed be on to something with the letter "S". Now-I'm turning into Nancy Drew...

You guys have good eyes. I can't see anything except the lines and squiggles.

If the picture is to scale, you can see the "S" and a window. The window is tiny compared to the S, so maybe the lettering on the side of the planes will be massive like it is on Frontier Airlines aircraft, with much smaller font size giving homage to Am West, Piedmont, Allegh., and PSA. Who knows.

However, I like the silvery gray top with the similar shade in the "S". Reminds me of the Scandinavian livery with their pearlescent paint and pearl/silver "Scandinavian" lettering.

As long as HP gets rid of those hideous 757 logo-jets, I will be fine with whatever color.

 

[MarkMyWords]

I think the logo-jets are pretty cool. They add a little something different to the fleet. They are an attention getter. I'd love to see one painted to kick off the launch of their Hawaii service.

Anyone going to be in CLT? I'm off for a few days and bored, may go up to see Parker again (met him on TPA-PHX during HP's BOB test)...
