First, as a gay man, I’m offended by the hompohobic comments exhibited by others on this blog.

Second, as someone who has done brand strategy, I think Spirit’s new livery works for what they are becoming: a leisure-focused airline serving the Carribbean. Is ti gorgeous? No. Subtle? No. Impressive? No. However, I doubt many of the people who choose to fly Spirit do so, or will do so, becuase of its livery.

A big step backward. But I think xpilot and Bob could have a future together–

Hmm.. I kinda like both of them. The new one seems like it would be cheaper with only six colors versus the eleven or so for the old one..

Sad. But, I guess an ULCC needs a ULCC paint scheme. Their current scheme protrays a professional image which I guess confused a lot of their customers since the airline is anything but. You can paint a Civic to look like a M35, but in the end, it’s still a Civic. At least now their paint scheme matches their corporate mission.

Spirit’s gray digital scheme is/was the best livery flying. This new scheme is a monstrosity! Absolute rubbish!

I don’t know the design shop, sorry.

Definitely better than the block livery. Other than that, the tail logo makes me think of a logo for a Spanish language TV network

I actually really like. One of the more interesting American schemes.
