hmmm, I'm not desperately keen on that logo, to be honest. Too old fashioned. I thought it was obligatory to have a swishy-looking ribbon or flag these days?

I don't really see any big difference, can anyone give me the two logos to compare? I have never really been to keen in that logo either, it looks too old and outdated.

The difference between the logos isn't that big at all, and i assume that 90 percent of the people who see the new logo won't even sense a difference from the old one. They seriously need to change their corporate identity.

Quoting LH4116 (Reply 5): Now that's an ugly livery IMHO. The red nose and green belly doesn't look nice, but the tail on the other hand looked great.
Personally, I think it looks better then the plain 1960s retro classy look with their current livery. Some minor changes and i think it would look great.

Royal Air Maroc's inflight magazine (December edition) explained the changes. I think the new font is much nicer but the rest of the changes are too subtle. Actually I preferred the cream colored top of the fuselage. But it's OK, just a basic, classic livery.

Quoting 777way (Reply 8): That star design is associated with unholy things and yet its on the flag of a muslim country.
Maybe people in Morocco aren't so small minded as to be 'offended' by anything that vaguely resembles the forbidden star. Fair play to them.
Looks like RAM did not want to move too far away from their existing logo. The font is certainly more modern but the logo on first glance is basically the same. I guess the aircraft will retain the same basic livery - one which I actually quite like.

Its not about being small minded, muslim architecture has Star of David design decorating mosques etc. in just about every muslim country, this Moroccan star something else.

It's a pentagram (five-pointed star), a very common star design. It represents many different symbols besides Satanism...

Quoting Kaitak (Reply 12): I think he meant "Israel" when he was talking about unholy things, not satanism!
No i'm sure he meant Satanism. If he had thought Israel he would have said the Star of David.
Let's please try to avoid going of topic. Im sure the Arab-Isreali Affair has already been over-discussed.

Well just to make things clear
This is the flag of Morocco
This is a Satanist star
And this is the David Star
Clearly there's a big difference between the Morocco star and the satanist star. The Satanist star is pointing down. And the David star doesn't look similar to neither one of them.
So clearly there must have been some sort of misunderstanding.
