I am not liking this one. It is too busy, takes away from the traditional red and white which is fairly sharp. I think if it didn't go the full length of the a/c it would be better.

It represents Swiss culture, though it may not apeal to aviation buffs, its goal is to raise the swissness image of the company, I think it does a fine job. Very Gruyere.

I like the painting...I was referring to the hideous Zurich airport advertising on the back part of the plane. A shoppers paradise if you have a huge wallet maybe...

I like it, something different, although to me the BAe-146 looks good in any color scheme. That has to be one of my favorite all-time aircraft.
As for the country of Switzerland, I LOVE it. I've been to visit one time, staying in Lausanne, Bern and Zurich and would go back to visit again and again and again. Such lovely people and such incredible beauty in your country as a geographical region as well.
I even went to the Swiss Army Knife (Victorinox) factory !! They don't have tours of the plant, but I still had to go see it.

If I don't focus my eyes on details, I think it's very uplifiting, thanks to the colors. However, when I actually look at what's going on, I feel like I'm looking at story board prints for a lost Ricola commercial. The fact that the design basically repeats itself doesn't help matters. Perhaps it would help if the upper half of the fuse was painted a nice blue, so as to draw the snow-capped mountains out more.

Well, here's an idea. The original Tyler Brule design intended for the engines to be brown, personally I think that would have looked quite stylish. So, in order to promote 'swissness', why not piant the engines, or the whole plane for that matter, in a kind of chocolate brown Toblerone or chocolate bar livery? And please don't take me too seriously!
