Ma perchè hanno fatto una cosa del genere? La livrea attuale è bella ed elegante e non meritava di essere sostituita con questa schifezza dove "pezze" di colori assortiti deturpano la fusoliera. Per ottenere poi una parte posteriore che non dice nulla di nulla né in riferimento alla compagnia, né in riferimento al paese di appartenenza.
Created by leading brand consultants Landor Associates in partnership with Etihad Airways, the new livery is inspired by traditional Emirati design patterns, the landscapes of the desert and the geometric shapes found in the modern architecture of Abu Dhabi.
The result is a striking and unique livery design – a reflection of an airline with a progressive and innovative cultural hub, firmly rooted in its rich history.
Etihad livery
Abu Dhabi's emblem
The design pattern named ‘Facets of Abu Dhabi’ uses a colour palette which reflects the varying hues of the landscape of the UAE, from the darker sands of Liwa to the lighter colours seen in the Northern Emirates.
The design development involved researching design options amongst Emiratis and international travellers to help select the final ‘winning’ livery.
The UAE national emblem is given prominence along the fuselage next to the Etihad name and the national flag is respectfully featured forward near the cockpit.
The design pattern is also a key feature of the new cabin interiors being introduced on our Airbus A380 and Boeing 787 aircraft, and is being rolled out across our corporate branding.
