Alternative Brussels Airlines c/s

[Conti764]

In the Korongo Airlines topic (section Latest Aviation News) I added a picture of alternative SN c/s based on the scheme of Korongo. Members tolipanebas and Polaris had some valuable input into alternative c/s, so I took their input and rapidly created some colorschemes. So here we go :

(with a special one )

[cathay belgium]

My vote: Polaris with contri764 graduation of blue on the fuselage with red line.
Sorry Tolepane, some engines need some colours.
Altough I like the Sabena-S it's time to leave this saga in our memories...
But maybe we need to colour the tail with a belgian red bird instead of some red balls..
maybe a flying 'roodborstje ?' in comparison LH,Korongo,..
CX-B

Option 5, long live the S-tail

[fretn]

SN, listen & take notes of these c/s!
The current one is hideous and I can't imagine these proposed c/s are that more expensive!

[taz001]

well done Conti!
I like option 2 & option 4.

Personally I like the color scheme of Thai Airways... Any possibility to convert that scheme to a Brussels Airlines one?

[DeltaWiskey]

I like the first one, although I think it will look even nicer with a light blue line between the white and blue on the aft fuselage, like Korongo c/s. For the rest :thumbup:

And I also like the S-tail, but that is the past, not the future.

brussels airlines is not sabena so no S-tail
i vote for option 5, the red line is a great addition

[favourite_belgian]

Option 1, definitely. Perhaps you should start a poll?

not to be a pain in the ass here but the first RJ is already beeing repainted... this poll comes somewhat to late

[nordikcam]

Which livery ? Any pic ? Thank's a lot

[dsa330]

Which livery ? Any pic ? Thank's a lot

euhm... normal colours
some RJ85's and other's are still in SN colours, they will all get brussels airlines scheme now

I prefer option 2.

But I still like this one too



I think a smaller 'b' on the tail is more classy.

I must say that I really like this one, exept for the small "b" on the tail.

BTW, I'v chosen option 4. But wouldn't it be better to have a 'b' on the front of the aircraft (like option 3) but without a 'b' on the engines. So just blue (or a slightly other color) engines.

Boavida's suggestion is very nice, but unfortunately too similar to that of British Midland, I'm afraid. As for myself, I very much like the smaller "b" on the tail, which I also find classier that the current larger one.

Large or small, classy or not, it is time that Brussels Airlines looks at another logo, or at least other colours for their "b". The red dots on a blue background were selected to remind the respective colours of Virgin Express and SN Brussels (or Sabena). The result is rather disastrous: the contrast is insufficient and the logo is barely visible from far away.

Look at the Lufthansa logo: the yellow crane is clearly visible on the blue background.
Back to the drawing board, SN!

[NCB]

I like Tolip's concept but I prefer blue engines to create a sense of balance.
The title's at the front are fine the way they are now.
The B-Tail is fine with me.

[regi]

for me option 3 of Tolipanebas.
Reason: probably the cheapest solution.
( and I personally don't like dark coloured engines )
We will see what comes out of the paintshop
( and yes Boavida, I saw your attempt to squeeze a 4 engined wide body in the fleet of SN again )

[DeltaWiskey]

And now change the red b in the same light blue and I think we have a winner

[DeltaWiskey]

something like this? (first time i did some picture editing =D )

I have several opinions on the colour schemes. First of all the S on the last option - even if we may not like it - it's part of history, we have to move on and look to the future.

Secondly, I saw the word colour schemes - not all white fuselage with a painted tail - do you really want to be as boring as Air France or Lufthansa? In my opinion the fuselages are too white - spice it up! I think the current scheme of Brussels Airlines is not bad - they could use those same colours and make it better - but remember it could also be a lot worse.

I think for the moment they should focus on earning profits consistently (not profit one quarter, then loss the next quarter). Secondly, they should focus on acquiring new long/short haul aircraft. Then when they replace all the Avro's then they can look at making a new colour scheme. The red dots do not look bad on the blue background - the light blue dots on the dark blue back ground looks like a child drew it.

If we are going to use an almost all white fuselage then there has to be a very powerful image and logo that people will instantly know and recognise - this should be of particular focus in any case if Brussels Airlines wants to remain a dominant player on the Europe - Africa sector.

Thanks everyone for the nice examples
