I'm unable to get the site to open up and I'm in Sao Paulo. Thanks for posting the image! Not sure if I like it yet but I didn't like DLs new livery at first either. I did like the "Brasil" added to the former. I thought it was classy.

VARIG's server can't handle the traffic. What a nightmare! I guess it will stay like this until tomorrow, since the ad that will be aired later tonight on Jornal Nacional will make more people try to have a look.

I'm unable to open the website aswell. From what I could se so far.. I like the font change in the name but not to sure about the tail with this orange compass.. but let's wait for a better picture, this one is very bad.

The roll-on of the first plane (a 737-800 with winglets) with new livery took place today at GIG. Later on some friends that attend the presentation will release some pictures from this plane.

Good for me! Not cheap.. looks modern! Can't wait to see the first pictures!
FelipeGIG, if your friends upload to a.net please let them know to write an email at priorityscreening@airliners.net to place a banner and upload the pic ASAP!

Quoting C010T3 (Reply 8): Thanks to Allan777 from Contato Radar, we have photos of VARIG's new identity at BSB:
So there is nothing orange like GOL. They kept the blue, changed the font, ... really like the new 3D compass.. very sleak I think.. can't wait to see the aircraft.
I finally was able to open the website, but it was still the old one... I guess their server is really having problems to handle all this traffic..

Looks like GOL have decided that a corporate look is the way to go. I like the tail even though the picture is small, I am please they haven't ditched the compass entirely, I would have prefered to see a more billboard Varig on the side theres a lot of white and replacing the word Brasil with that small flag is well kinda weak, like sampa737 I liked the scripty gold Brasil of the previous livrey, why didn't they do it in orange. I will hold my final jugement on the livery until some pics are posted, but the checkin looks good and I have a feeling GOL are going to pull the recovery off !

Just a small preview:
The thing is that it is being said that that is not the finished scheme. Actually, only one side of the aircraft was done for the official presentation, since it was done in a hurry. Look how the same aircraft looked like yesterday:
Thanks to Coronado from Contato Radar for the picture of PR-VBE.
Rumour has it that not only the livery is not finished on this 738, but every new aircraft will bare the compass on another part of the tail.

Uhm...
To be 100% Honest...
I DON'T LIKE IT !
Looks cheap.
I know they are going for something simple, but that is WAY too simple. I wish they would have put a logo on the side of the aircraft or something. Even G3 scheme looks hotter !

I think that a bigger "Varig" on the fuselage as well as painted engines, in blue with the fading lines (as the tail) would make it 100% better, and wouldn't cost that much either!

It would look nice for a start-up and it is not as bad as I was expecting, but it comes nowhere near the glorious VARIG of the old days... it is a sad day for aviation and one more glorious airline gone down the drain R.I.P. good old Varig and welcome new days.

While I still think the plane looks way too euro-white, the tail is truely something to admire. The addition of a light-grey belly and engines covers would solve the problem from where I'm standing.
The important thing is that we will see Varig planes flying in the skyes again!
Cheers,
Marcelo

Another cheap white fusulage. And if I didn't know any better, I'd think the logo on the tail was supposed to be a flower or something, not a compass rose.

53 Jfk777: I wish the new VARIG well but using 763ER to Europe and the USA is putting it at a disadvantgage to all the 777 and A330's used by TAM.
54 PHKLM: Uhm, that is a little short sighted, isn't it? I agree with you VARIG will have a very hard time competing with TAM, but there is demand and if price
55 C010T3: Rumour has it that VARIG will spend circa 3 million per aircraft in order to retrofit the 763s with 787-style interiors starting next April.
56 Caribb: I like it.. glad too they've kept the compass.. just glad also they are still around! I hope they have great success!
57 Dougbr2006: If that is true it will certainly gloss over the age of the aircraft and rumour is also abound the there is a potential B787 or B777 order coming up
58 PHKLM: Nice and smart move, I think they don't have another choice really. Not to be nitpicking, but don't you mean the planes will get the Boeing Signature
59 C010T3: Well, it's a rumour, isn't it? I cannot do much about it.
60 PHKLM: I understand, don't worry We'll see next year; all the best for VARIG, it's good to see competition back on the Brazil routes.

62 Aleksandar: First, let me be clear. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING, can replace the beautiful classic VARIG livery. As for the new one, tail doesn't look bad. Maybe

64 BWIA 772: The tail is nice but there is too much white. Caribbean Airlines white livery is broken up with big titles maybe that could be done with the new VARIG

67 787KQ: Caribbean Airlines is a terrible livery. There's little to be gained from anything there. BWIA's last livery was a classic.
