That reminds (me) mostly "The Beauty And The Beast". If it should be "The Beast" something else should be "The Beauty".
Or it can be both maybe good for a marketing Pay-Off but too long for branding.

Ola,

Interesting topic...

I'm not a very creative person so I would call it " Atlantis ".
A myth of an ancient and wealthy town. It had a powerful fleet which was able to travel across different oceans. And it was a paradise. (according to Plato)

So to compare it:
A380 powerful plane which is able to connect different continents, it expresses the wealth in the western society. And I hope it will be a flying paradise too.

My favorite description is "a face only a mother could love" which I have seen on a photo on jetphotos or airliners.
Besides, I have seen a couple of times the name "Mega-Jumbo" or "Super-Jumbo" like in the news or on TV. although it is not very creative it pretty much hits the point for me.

Let's keep it short. How about DDF then?

I am partial to "Le Pig", both appearance wise, and how it will hog airspace and ramp space.

i really think manatees and the a380 have things in common

hakan · Post by **hakan** » 09 Dec 2005, 09:15

I Australia, we call big people as "Fatty". How about Fatty? A380 is big and fat.......

RC20 · Post by **RC20** » 10 Dec 2005, 05:28

Well my wife says we could combine the Manatee and Aibus and come up with Air Cow.

I still like "Le Pig" but "AirCow" has a certain pananache.
