LH introduces revised livery

Yawn, going back to bed! I expected a heck of a lot more than black and white.
No creativity at LH??

And not to forget, the beloved "Spiegelei" was always an oddity in the LH Design world. It was used nowhere else than on the airplanes. No matter how important and sympathetic - it was an oddity.

Indeed. I wrote earlier in the thread that it is quite hard to distinguish the circle of the Kranich when the logo is applied to the Spiegelei. Of course, we know that the circle is blue, but to the average onlooker, I suspect the outer yellow circle is more noticeable. As recognizable as the Spiegelei is, it wasn't a particularly good brand application.

I agree with your point fully but just pointing out that Singapore Airline's logo is more of a handle of a keris dagger that resembles a bird than it is a bird, yet alone a crane specifically. Just saying

Agree it was time for a new livery but I miss the yellow in the tail emblem.

It gives the impression that somebody turned off the lights. Why was this necessary? But after all,it is their airline not mine...
Can you imagine if the Olympic rings were stamped all-white on the tail? What would you say?
Some people do not realize that a tail is not a lapel or uniform you can put a pin on.

Yet another classic livery flushed down the toilet - change for the sake of change. This is ugly, drab and souless. You'll no longer know a Lufthansa plane from far off in the distance. It'll look like a freighter jet. All blue and white. Could it be more drab. This may be worse than Delta's dull and drab 2007 livery. What a shame. A timeless classic gone. Air Canada's blue and Lufthansa's blue and orange, all gone the same year. Pity.

Are people still upset about Air Canada's change? It wasn't 'classic'. It was a thoroughly 2000s design that didn't age especially well (I remember thinking that it was pretty unappealing/insipid well before the change). It was unique, yes, but not pretty (aside from the expensive tail detail). The new AC scheme is much more 'classic' than the previous one because it reflects a bunch of their previous liveries, whereas the 2005 toothpaste one did not. How many hours did people spend on the forums of 2005 whinging about their blue scheme then, you think?

At least with Lufthansa you can claim that it was a 'classic' design because it had existed for more than 12 years.

For the same reason, I think it will look better on the A380. Massive tail and relatively short plane compared to the part that will be painted.

shamrock350 · Fri Feb 09, 2018 5:59 pm

I'm in two minds about this, the overall brand refresh has been done very well and will go down as a classic example of how to refine your current image and successfully take it in a new direction but the execution of the livery is poor, it's been overthought and oversimplified to the point of almost not existing. All that effort and work only to end up with nothing more than a white plane with a dark tail? It misses the mark in my opinion.

I don't think the livery needs yellow but it does need something, I'm just not sure what.

seahawk · Fri Feb 09, 2018 6:45 pm

I thought about that as well. But whatever I tried it did not look better. The only thing that would add a touch of colour without making the overall design unbalanced would be a blue crane on the engines.

shamrock350 · Fri Feb 09, 2018 6:58 pm

I think the official draft designs shown here gave them plenty to work with which is why I'm even more disappointed with what they eventually produced.

The branding itself seems to have been done well, making yellow an accent colour, refining the Kranich and deepening the blue all work very well but it doesn't translate on the livery.

Clipper101 · Fri Feb 09, 2018 7:12 pm

I figure they kept it straightforward & simple composed of only two colours so to make the paint job more economical; costing them less in paint, painting material & work manhours ! A smart move if you ask me.

Looking at that, it came down to hot pink (hello Qantas!) and different shades of blue. Heck, I see an all-white livery in there too. I also see variations of complete and broken circles of the logo on the tail, just as a few members here proposed. I also see a few where the crane fills the lower portion of the AC, just as proposed by users here. One thing is for certain is that yellow was out of all of the concepts. Don't see it.

In conclusion: the members of this forum are better artists than whichever firm did the concepts for LH.

Though I am curious why we didn't add yellow to these fine examples...

I had a similar thought. But finally i come to my personal conclusion: The design is superb - what is missing: a little german flag on the upper part of the tail fin (line an immatriculation)

Yawn yawn double yawn. This is one of the most retrograde livery changes I have ever seen. Design is subjective... I get that, but the blue and yellow LH tail is iconic the world over. I don't think that this shines a light anywhere near it.

Does anyone know if the belly has any kind of Lufthansa reference on it for those looking up (ala Virgin, Emirates, Qantas etc).

Hi Folks, quite a disparate collection of opinions.

Now on this note would the boards of Aer Lingus, Austrian and Singapore sit down and "move with the times".

Also, I can't help but get very strong Syrian Air vibes from most of the tails...

I wondered that too, it also reminded me of the new American livery prior to reveal when pics appeared of their pre-delivery 77W in base grey fuselage and white tail. Imagine if that had remained the actual livery ? Possibly still more interesting than Lufthansa mind you ! ;-)

Funnily enough Aer Lingus did have a short term lease 767 in an all white livery (EI-CAM), with a simple white shamrock on a green tail and Aer Lingus texts, at a time when other leases (L-1011, MD-11) received the full paint job. IIRC it was actively being considered by the Aer Lingus board for the rest of the fleet before being discounted. I suppose IAG could have their way yet...

This has clearly been a process of consultation, discussion and elimination over a very long time. I see where you're coming from, and I can understand why some of the alternative liveries posted on here might be popular (particularly with aviation geeks), Lufthansa clearly wanted a break with the past without dumping their whole identity. The Lufthansa design team are not a bunch of amateurs who sat down and drew a design on the back of a napkin and handed it to the board and said "this is what we're going for". They know the airline inside out and its mindset, and the image they want to project. They clearly had a lot of alternatives, which probably initially looked nice -- like some renditions on here -- but after much consultation and discussion and a process of elimination, arrived at the current design. They obviously decided that the yellow was dragging the brand downmarket, yet didn't want to dump it completely as it has been an important part of their identity. So they cleverly reduced it to flashes and "surprises", which, IMHO, is the master stroke of this whole revamp. No other airline has done this before (as far as I know). As I've said before, reducing it actually makes it more noticeable. I'm not a huge fan this minimalist look, but in some cases it works (particularly Qantas and Air France), however it looks incredibly smart in this livery, given the dark shade of blue and the way it's applied (with the white strip at the front of the tail and they way the blue separates and flows down the back of the fuselage). Given that new liveries generally get a roasting on here, the way it has been received has been remarkably positive. How many times have you heard "I didn't like it at first, but now it's starting to grow on me" on these forums? I think this is what will happen here. I'll bet my yellow socks on it . . .

I think you are right. This is another case of less is more.

I am starting to like it more already, however I would have loved to see the same livery where they had kept the dark blue colour from the previous livery to compare that with the almost black colour they decided on.

I think many liveries proposed here look unprofessional or are too busy and would not appeal to the premium market Lufthansa wants to attract.

Also interesting how not many people criticise the Qantas livery when it's pretty much identical to the LH one, but red instead of dark blue.

seahawk · Sat Feb 10, 2018 10:44 am

If you want a branding that is consistent over all application the livery is good. And liveries that cut the circle around the crane or even remove the circle won´t work due to that. Imho the new tail logo is fine, illuminated at night it will work better than the old one, so you would need to keep that and add some yellow to it. The only barely good idea imho is a small yellow strip in front of the blue, like the stripes on a pilot uniform.

TC957 · Sat Feb 10, 2018 11:43 am

Can one of you clever graphic designers come up with a scheme where the tail circle is in the colours of the German flag and a thin dividing cheatline between the blue rear end and white fuselage is also in the colours of the German flag ?
Just curious how that'll look.
Thanks

I completely agree. And as I ave stated earlier, we will get used to the new livery quite fast, and the customers will get even more accustomed to the new branding of the whole LH-product. My guess is it will be highly appreciated quite soon.

Hands off Aer Lingus!

It needs a refresh but I'd hate to see them lose the current Shamrock design or green top livery, a eurowhite livery would be a backward step for them. Interestingly, both KLM and Aer Lingus have followed a similar path when it comes to livery evolution, KLM have tweaked their's more often but both remain along the same lines.

Would anyone suggest KLM "move with the times" or have they done enough to keep their livery fresh?

Lufthansa has stayed true to their brand with this refresh, while the livery is lacklustre in quantity, it's unashamedly Lufthansa in detail. I'd hope any update to Aer Lingus, KLM or even Singapore Airlines would follow the same process, a refresh that modernises but remains true to their roots and company direction.

One of the reasons I’m so thrilled with this new look is that, going on previous form, I only every believed that any changes to Lufthansa’s livery would be very gradual and very minimal. On previous occasions I’ve said that I’d love to see the Kranich reworked, and when I first saw this design I thought that would be a nice touch. But I see what the design team were doing now so am perfectly happy to go along with that. It looks SO smart now, rendered in pure white on that dark blue background. You just have to forget that you expect to see yellow. :bigthumbsup:

redcap1962 · Sat Feb 10, 2018 4:37 pm

A friend drew my attention to this: Go to FR24, click FRA airport and see the small arr/dep columns on the left. There is a mix of the LH-symbol now. Spiegelei on roughly 60% of all LH flights gone, the area within circle with the crane inside beeing white. There are exceptions though, and all LH-CityLine flights (E190, CRJ9) have the Spiegelei still. The new symbols also come with the new font which apperars clearly slimmer.

Similar at MUC, HAM, TXL.

Work in progress it seems...

PS: Which source is that photo in #1012 from??? Sadly this guy is in front and it is quite a bit out of focus...

PPS: The square yellow "welcome" badge seems to be only at L1 on both A321 & 748.

The new livery is awful. They really had an opportunity here to do something great and blew it. Bland and cheap is the impression I get.

why is it that we live in an era where airline executives and marketing departments have absolutely no taste?

The only new livery I've liked is ACs, which ironically most people here seem to dislike.

stylo777 · Sun Feb 11, 2018 2:48 pm

I was just following D-AISP on FR24. It was deployed to MAD on LH1122/23 rotation which involves an OVN in MAD.
What surprised me the most that LH1122 arrives around 8pm and LH1123 departs next morning around 8.30am which in overall is a layover of 12 hours (!!!).
This is certainly very long for a shorthaul flight, isn't it?

ooh and I like the new livery and it looks the best on the 321 in my opinion.

I couldn't agree more with you, that being said I do have a few more notes to add. On the subject of the yellow surprise, I feel like the welcome aboard square of yellow should be present on all doors that are used for boarding, especially on the long haul aircraft. Being from BOS where they only use the second door for boarding on the 748.

While scrolling through here today, I had a yellow surprise moment. It was in the form of advertisement on the side of my screen, (can't seem to get the screen shot to upload) though but it was a fantastic use of the new brand guidelines I and would love to see more of their brand reflect this style.

On the branding/livery note, I love there use of the yellow surprise. I find it adds a refreshing tone and pop to a clean and simple new brand. However I don't like the new livery on the 748. That being said I do like the new livery on the airbus models. Not too make this an airbus boeing discussion, but I like how the LH designers scaled the crane on the airbus models, where it sits lower on the tail. I also feel like there is still room for a surprise element on the exterior though I don't expect to see any changes.

Interestingly enough as many of you have said as I look back on the old livery, It does look old now. I think the majority of this is the use of gray.
Has anyone done a rendering of the old livery, mixed with the new as concept? What I mean by this is a rendering with the old blue, and the old yellow circle. Combined with the extended tail paint section into the fuselage, with the lowered crane.

Lastly I wanted to lament about a minor detail which I am surprised many of you haven't talked more about. This is the two letter plane code on the tail. With the new scheme which has a heavy focus on cleanliness I do understand that it needed to be removed, but it is something which made LH planes a lot easier to identify, and it will be missed.
