Star Alliance has unveiled a new corporate livery for its member airlines which will be carried by at least one aircraft in each Star carrier’s fleet.
Asiana will be the first to introduce the new livery in March 2003.
Aircraft will have ‘STAR ALLIANCE’ in large plain script running along most of the fuselage while the corporate branding of the individual carrier will be painted underneath this main title, on the forward fuselage.
The vertical fin will be painted black and carry the Star logo.
So the logos from all airlines will disappear, and the simple black-and-white design is not really exciting... The didn't have the courage to go for an all-black plane, as had been considered.

Don't think Singapore Airlines will paint an aircraft though, due to some superstition(they did not paint any a/c in special livery after SQ006). Would be nice to see it on a 772ER or a 744!
Konstantin, will the Asiana one be on a 767, 777 or 747?

I also just had a look at the new livery and it isn't really anything special and I do prefer the current livery with the logos on the fuselage which adds some color to the planes. Best will probably be to just wait and see how the actual plane will look like as there are many chances of them maybe doing the one or other change yet before Asiana introduces it.

Interesting to say the least? Now there was a story on here about the QF/BA aircraft 747-400 that had the tail of BA world images and yet was leased to QF and supposedly the LAX authorities wanted it changed or removed as they could tell whether it was QF or BA? How true this is I do not know but imagine what would happen at LAX if all the Star Alliance aircraft arrived painted in this one pattern...........LA tower trouble???

Maybe is Air Orange the designer?
It reminds me a bit to his Air Malta livery
About this livery: I hope they keep the actual one, because the new one is rubbish...

25 Singapore_Air: CEOs of LOT, Spanair and Asiana (From left to right) admire the new livery. http://www.star-pr.com/global/show_picture.asp?id=aaaaaaaaaaadqcy
26 RayChuang: They did it again with the wet leaser look. Why can't anyone come up with imaginative, color co-ordinated and good-looking liveries lately? I'm not su
27 Sk945: It perhaps aint the most wonderful livery, but the most practical. With this new livery they dont have to a repaint everytime a new airline join star.
28 Crosswind: SK945, Those are exactly my thoughts. All current variations of the Star Alliance livery are ridiculously out-of-date, either because they feature the

30 Aussiestu: Totally agree with you Crosswind! Flying around with a bankrupt airlins name on your fuselage must be slightly amusing to others outside the alliance
31 Bigo747: All current variations of the Star Alliance livery are ridiculously out-of-date, either because they feature the names of airlines that are no longer
32 N766UA: ARGH! That's horrid!!! What are these designers thinking? That thing is so ugly. RIP the cheatline.
33 Copenhagenboy: auch, I must say as a Star fan, it is really ugly, it must be one person experimenting -... Okay. We need to have the difference, if I can fly SAS or
34 Mikephotos: Ok, is it too late to suggest another livery ? My little try at something better... enjoy Michael
35 Ghost77: Mike, Very nice try! Specially that this 320 is from my fav. airline! Just send your suggestion to Star Alliance! ghost77
36 Tom in NO: Mikephotos: your rendition looks the best of anything I've seen! My only comment for your ideas would be to do something more with the engines. Tom in
38 Dragon-wings: Why can't they just update the current livery?
39 Airways: Nice drawing, Mikephotos! It remindes me on the prototypes of new airliners. They're featuring the tail-logos of the launch customers on the fuselage.
40 Blink182: Yeah, I saw it too(i was too dumb to see the link, so i took the labor and typed in staralliance.com hehe). It is highly unimaginative. I really like
41 Mia777: that livery (referring to Mikephoto's) looks great except i don't really like the flags being separated ....maybe they should go on the upper portion
42 Bigo747: Why can't they just update the current livery? Because it would cost lots of money to update the logos. Plus, it's still unsure whether Qantas will pu
43 WiLdmanVzla: the new livery? boring... boring... boring... ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ... *******
44 BWIA 772: I find the current one boring and for the new one an Adaption from Steve Wonder Isnt she Lovely if appropriate" "ISN'T IT UGLY, IS'NT IT HIDEOUS"
45 AsianaAirlines: Y'kno, a good idea is to have pictures of all the Airlines' Flight attendents near the tail area of the plane. that would look really nice.
46 Salina Chan: Airways: nice thought to level the interior and products but then i hope they would all meet up on the SQ level, something which might actually be a v
47 AM744: Very, very nice, Mikephotos. Simple, but not boring.
48 Dan330: The actual Star Alliance colours is simply crap! If your going to do a livery like that then at least made the lettering bold, its way too thin at the
49 FutureFO: The new Star Livery Sucks!!!! If they were to redo it I would prefer still with all the carriers on the Fuselage and to make things interesting put th
50 David_mx: New livery: BORING Mike's livery: Interesting. Conclusion: Mike should be hired by Star Alliance to design their logojets, and kick off their designer
51 9V-SVE: Couldnt they have just made the STAR ALLIANCE letters bold?
52 Mikephotos: Thanks everyone! Really appreciate the comments. Here is a slightly updated version with the tail stickers on top as someone requested. Couldn't think

55 Mikephotos: K, Thats why I put "tails" as they can be 3M decals and easily removed/added when members are removed/added. Here is the new tail with correct font. M
56 Slawko: Michael, I like that livery, you should send it to the Star alliance...their new one blows goats!!!
57 Gigneil: The newer current planes ARE stickers as well... except of course the tail. All the logos on the BMI plane were apparently stickers, as mentioned in a
58 Fly-K: Mike, even today's logos (the ones on MX, OS, NH, BD etc) are decals, but apparently this wasn't flexible enough. K.
