    Aer Lingus wouldn't be allowed to adopt the British Airways speedbird logo.

    On topic, numbers 7 and 9 look to be the smartest to me. Good work with these mock ups.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,190 ✭✭✭Mister Jingles

    001 is good but a bit on the dark side at the same time.
    Otherwise 007. :cool::pac:

    Livery 001 is the leader so far..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,577 ✭✭✭lord lucan


    007 is the winner for me.

    Maybe its about time Aer Lingus dropped the shamrock altogether since this symbol has its roots deep within the Roman Catholic Church. :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,943 ✭✭✭Tropheus


    Probably the first one as it's not as sh1te as the rest.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,015 ✭✭✭✭Mc Love

    +1


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 16,646 Mod ✭✭✭✭Manic Moran


    Problem with #1 is that the shamrock looks like a Geisha or some odd Kabuki character.

    I'll go with #7, with #8 as a close runner-up.

    NTM

    Number 1 for me, with maybe number 14 for something different. Those 744 do look the part no matter what livery you pick.;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 264 ✭✭zone 1


    002
    0 1 for me ... cost wise it would be a big project for a fleet of 45 planes . how old is the currant paint job... ryanair need a paint up grade big time...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,818 ✭✭✭donvito99


    009
    008 if i had to, but I think the current livery is just fine, one of the best and most elegant in the business IMO.

    Current livery is from 1997.

    should be a poll

    Think No.1 is winning either way though

    Followed by 8, but with slightly smaller tail shamrock


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 383 ✭✭IrishB.ie


    002
    No. 1 but agree with MM about the Shamrock
    No. 7 next

    They need to incorporate the St. Patrick blue stripe somewhere like current and previous Aer Lingus liveries

    Titles on the engines are a must and the little orange stripe on the winglet is a nice touch. This is a beautiful livery! Aer Lingus please please take note:D:D

    livery 8......tail job is very striking and wouldnt cost an arm/leg to retro paint the fleet. Painting aircraft to different colours is mega bucks.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 46 Turbo Porter


    008
    7 or 8 for me.Number one looks like a type of livery you would find on a cargo DC-8.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,240 ✭✭✭CaptainSkidmark


    009
    8 for me but i cant see them changing liver any time soon!

    Well number 1 is my vote. It reminds me of the Vietnam Airlines livery. Not 100% on the stylised shamrock though.

    Second place goes to 8, it is a simple modern update to the current livery.

    I strongly dislike 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 11, 13, 14.

    this.

    no.1 is the best of the lot though.

    The modified livery 001 is my favourite.

    In livery 002, where did they get the Emerald Island from? It was always the Emerald Isle.

    I thought no.1 was good at first in the Photo's thread but I then realised that it was too dull and dark for an airline that already has a bright green.

    Also for some reason I feel that anyone who vote's for no.8 is just doing so for cost reasons. Imo the current one it even better then 8.

    Livery 7 & 8.
    7 is a kind of nostalgic take on two older liveries. 8 gets 2nd vote, but imo 7 wins hands down.

    cant see what you see in 7. It looks like a bastardized paint scheme of when the 747s they used to have were on contact with Lan Chile......white with green down the back....the Shamrock is the old type and I dont think they want to go all retro again. Changing a fleets paint scheme is mental money, whereas 8 fits in with what's current yet the shamrock in its enlarged size make s a big splash.

    OK Tin Hat on....incoming!!:D:D

    Really like 001. I also think 002 is a good design (with the exception of Welcome to the Emerald Island... wtf). It wouldn't work for a fleet, but for a one-off it would work: mountains, low clouds and a blue sky above. Seems about right!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,176 ✭✭✭1huge1


    002
    Some very impressive designs! The first one gets my vote.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 26,567 ✭✭✭✭Fratton Fred


    Number 8's tail on number 9 would win it for me.

    I like 1's pattern, but too dark.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 686 ✭✭✭joegriffinjnr


    002
    Ok folks last call for the votes now.... Get them in!

    The big questain is can livery 008 catch up with livery 001? Your vote could make the difference!

    I'm liking your campaign here Joe, maybe Gaybo should hire you as a Political Consultant.

    The unfortunate thing is that this will make no difference.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,072 ✭✭✭sunnysoutheast


    Just paint them all in the retrojet livery?

    Brilliant if that happened I could pretend I was fifteen again :)
    Especially true if in addition I also played my wedding video backwards :D
