    Other 'Favourites'

    i know everyone here has that one favourite scheme. that topic's been beaten to death but i'm sure everyone also has a few that you'd probably consider runner-ups. what are those?

    here's mine, in no particular logo:

    Avianca:

    Pan American, not the shortened Pan Am.

    Royal Jordanian

    Iraqi

    China Southern (surprisingly)

    Air Canada


    wow, i think i'm biased to Boeing.


    of course the best is still:
    Lot Polish
    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.

    I happen to like the next to last logo for the late Northwest Airlines. To me, this was just very clever and brilliant. It's got the compass pointing northwest, it's got the "N" and it's got the "W". Simple, and yet it works on so many levels. The rest of the livery was nice too, especially on the B747's.
