Re: New livery for our new -800
I mostly like WJ's paint schemes. Mostly, except for this one.
Re: New livery for our new -800
It looks better in person than in the picture, but still isn't great! As far as the WestJet Vacations paint job.....wait for it!

It is not horrible but not great. I like the tail portion of the design, I think that works. The rest of the body colours is ok, however I agree the slogan does not work...

Is this something to do with Care Bears???
Re: New livery for our new -800
The paint job reminds me of the Mystery Machine from Scooby-doo.
Re: New livery for our new -800
Somebody let their 8 year old little girl design the paint scheme and their 10 year old son do the branding. That's just embarrassing.

I will go with B Jonny, only because it was obviously not A.........
Hold my beer and watch this!
Re: New livery for our new -800
The problem is that they may have been aiming at b: but in doing so they sacrifice a little of their brand and make themselves look even more like a lower echelon carrier.
Good marketing and advertising will be conscious of preserving the main brand. This design is not.

I worked this aircraft in YHZ last week. French on one side, English on the other. It didn't have a chance to get down to Minnesota (correct me if I am wrong) for the TV/Satellite retrofit yet, so no AVOD/PIFE.

I could give a shit how it's painted. Either the way it is or a rainbow for you Shannon...don't matter, we're still kickin' ass and taking names. 
Re: New livery for our new -800
I'm not sure kicking ass is what the care bears were all about.
Seriously dude why so defensive, westjet people just go crazy if any kind of critique occurs. chill out.
