It's a bit of a subtle change with the logo and font of Air France changing to the current CityJet logo. The tail remains the same but I think the livery still looks classy.

Looks like Airbus won't have to repaint the A380 tail after all.

Seems the owner of the video has removed it. :(

Sorry about that. As soon as I can find an image or a press release from Air France I will post it.

I hope it doesn't go to private again but here's another one:

Worked that time. It's not bad looking. Doesn't seem like all that much of a change.

Unofficial renderings.

There is also a change to the tail livery with only 3 blue stripes.

Hmm, I think I approve.

Looks good, but you can tell that's just an artist's drawing - there isn't any dirt on the fuselage :shock:

Looks like the old scheme so far.

If you think the dirty Air France White is bad check out their first A-380 in mostly primer.

We all have our own taste in airplanes and one man's beauty is another man's ugly but I'm sorry but that is "One Ugly Fat Bastard"

Ron, you put this so well, I agree with your feelings 100%!
My son Mike loves it, I don't-at all.

is there something we are missing? is there a reason to keeping an all-white airplane? i just don't get it, why would you avoid paint just to add color in the shades of hydraulic fluid, brake dust and general dirt?

White paint is cheaper and lighter than colored paint. And as long as it's kept clean (which we know AF has a problem doing) it's not going to offend anyone.

It also reflects heat better then darker colors, therefor the plane's A/C system doesn't have to work as hard when they are on the ground baking in the sun.
