Regarding the swooshed up grey lines, the reason the jagged lines are in the HP livery is a bit of a nod to the native american art of the southwest. Its understated and nice.
When HP first started, the original livery was done by Ed Beauvais wife (and she probably charged the company back a bundle, all the Beauvais folk did that!), and she was in charge of the interiors of the HQ, she went a bit nuts on native american art, so much so that it was kind of a joke as to which indian cliche art was going up next!
I appreciate that the livery incorporates all the airlines,and grateful for airplanes that won't be big nasty heat islands sitting on the PHX ramp.

Check out this slide-show link from the America West Forum. It's 15 pictures most with the old uniforms.Zarah said:

The modified new livery that CLT-Douglas posted looks much better than the real thing. CLT-D's design keeps the stripes off the radome, but allows that feature to look like it BELONGS to the design, and not just an afterthought.
The forward curve-under in the new design looks like a patch job. And that's unfortunate in a brand-new, out-of-the-box paint job.

Nice pictures. I didn't see any go-go boots, though. They must have been worn out in the disco decades ago.

I like your design, too. The wave flows well with the lines in the tail - looks like they're all moving together.

Well clean is good since some of the interiors are so dirty and the carpet looks nasty and the seat covers don't even get me going on that. I would have wished they would have come up with a new Interior also to fit the new U and the new liveryshell nyc said:No changes to the interior of this plane...well except that it was clean!

I too like CLT-Douglas design.... but I wonder if the more fluid lines of the fuselage suggested by CLT-D have a tendency to make the 'flag icon' look even more out of place.
Perhaps CLT-D's scheme would be a next natural evolution with the new branding without both the 'fossilized flag icon' and the red 'tipped' tail. Actually, I like the red tipped tail, it reminds me of AWA's original teal tipped tail. I wonder if that two could have a french curve thrown on it... hmmmm?

I agree that Charlotte-Douglas' alteration of the new livery is a winner. Hopefully the powers that be will see it and say, "Oh yeah......THAT'S it!"
