I vote for rapids, but as I said on our FB, the logo on the tail must be bigger.

Paids? And no, the logo on the tail is going to be like this. :P According to fashion experts, something like that is better.

personally speaking, as a non-involved observer, i think they all look great! if i might cast a vote, i'd say to use them all... perhaps a certain one for each specific brand of craft that merlion has in its stables...

Trust me, the logo is the symbol of the VA why we keep it small?

Because we don't need the logo brandished halfway off of the plane's Vstab.


Of course, there'll be special liveries with different logo layouts, but otherwise, someone doesn't see the full logo on the Tail of our plane. ;)

Cheers,

Ash

Howdy. I'm not an airliner pilot, and here is my opinion, not a vote.

I like more the first livery that appears in the first photo. Note that the livery is similar to Rapids but different. I like that livery.

Can you cite any sources? I've been going through some other airline liveries and most of the large airlines make their logo as big as they can on the tail (like Emirates, Air France, BA, Qantas, Malaysia, Singapore, etc. - I was going through the A380 liveries and the only one I saw with a smaller logo on the tail is Lufthansa). I'm also pretty sure all major airlines in the US have larger logos too. I personally think it looks a lot nicer that way too. Also, Just another personal opinion - I prefer the old logo to the new one. I agree the new one is a little cleaner (fewer lines), but the old one has this majestic and powerful character to it the new one doesn't (think it's the lion's mane).

Maybe try the old tail logo with some of the newer designs?

Cheers :)

EDIT: Here's a screenshot of the "Dolphin livery" (I see it has quite a few votes) with the larger logo on the tail. Consider just the tail - I didn't spend much time on the curves aren't correct as compared to the list of liveries posted earlier.

Hey, thanks. My sources are multiple magazines, and my sister, who's a fashion expert. And my dad, who's an artist. But looking at many liveries, I'll try and redo the Dolphin livery (Leading the pack currently) with a nicer tail, and/or some appearance tweaks.

Unfortunately, I can't see the pictures...

Cheers,

Ash

Submitting another livery entry due to popular demand.
This one is called "Strike" and is placed on the A320neo as a testbed.

NOTE: This is just a sketch, the OCD-inducing position differences between the logo and the wording will be corrected.
