Who is the fool? Someone who states their honest opinion or the person who cries when someone doesn't like their work? Stop calling people names and learn to accept criticism.

That's the big question right now, isn't it? Who cares about minor revisions to AI's livery? Incidentally, Indopaki, I like some of your revisions, specifically the use of both English and Devanagiri (Hindi) titles on the fuselage. The rest are too minor to really make a difference. However, your attitude is not commendable. Livery preferences are very subjective and very personal, and there are very few absolutes (the only one I can think of is the Biman old livery which everyone finds ugly - it may be interesting in this day of Eurowhite liveries, but its still ugly).

Won't this change bring additional cost to AI? Personally,I don't like this constant change of the livery of AI.For the last 4 years I've been seeing continuous medling with the AI livery by the management. Why can't they stick to the current one with AI written on its tail?That looks OK to me. _________________ www.flickr.com/G-BYGB photos Back to top Jaysit Member Joined: 19 Dec 2006 Posts: 4346 Posted: Thu Jan 27, 2011 9:24 pm    Post subject: Getting rid of the AI name on the tail makes sense for this livery. It only worked on the 747s and the older palace in the sky livery in any case. Also, having both the English and Devanagiri script side by side on the fuselage is far better branding, although it would look better if the second AI, be it in English or Hindi depending on which side of the AC we're looking at was in a different color - the orange used in the livery for instance. In any case, I think it looks good.

How many Indians that fly can only read Hindi? True. But try telling that to the Hindi-belt politicians. Frankly, I think that AI should mix up its fleet with titles in Tamil, Telugu, Gurmukhi script, etc., with the Air India in English being standard on all aircraft.

They could keep the long-haul planes in all English as they are often at non-Indian airports and have regional languages on the smaller planes that fly mostly domestic sectors.
