The stripe is lower down, the tail logo now extends down the fuselage, the word 'Alitalia' is in a new typescript and the black radome has gone. What more do you want?

Quoting Solnabo (Reply 2): Italy are famous for design but this "new" livery is ridiculous, one green stripe under the windows....woow!
Exactly the same I thought of when I saw it for the first time few days ago. Unbelievable for such a country with a tradition in class and finest design. This is a misser 'first class'.

They got rid of everything good about it. The high cheatline and black radome.
Personally I see the 'new' AZ livery as a revised version of the old livery just as the small changes to the BA and slightly larger changes to the RG liveries are revisions.
As for it being
Quoting UAL777UK (Reply 3): A complete waste of time, effort and most importantly money!!
It is a waste of time if it was announced with a great fanfare. But I do not see where the effort was made. But otherwise . . . Well AZ certainly did not spend a small fortune with a design bureau and I guess there is a saving in the cost of green paint partly balanced by a rise in the cost of red paint.

If it was me in charge of designing a new livery concept, I would have a red stripe going up the front side of the tail fin, with the back part of it being solid red. I would have "Allitalia Airlines" in big font times new roman across the sides of the fucelage, with "Allitalia" being in red and "Airlines" being in green paint... This would not exactly be an all-white livery, and it certainly would not cost too much I don't think, but that's just me...
Do not bring stranger girt into your room. The stranger girt is dangerous, it will hurt your life.

Well, it's a small incremental change, not a major rebranding - they couldn't really afford that right now. I'm sort of "eh" about the whole thing - I'm a big fan of window-level cheat lines, and I liked the "Snoopy nose." That said, it's not a bad evolutionary design, and at least they didn't go "Eurowhite."
