JetBlue’s New Livery

[Shock-Diamonds]

JetBlue’s major expansion is coming with major changes.

I'm confused. Is this an every plane kind of thing, a special livery, or a livery specifically for Mint aircraft?

This one is mint specific with other variations coming soon for other aircraft. These new liveries are all based on the recently announced re-branding colors.

How are they gonna paint the newly acquired yellow busses?

Ah ok, so the blue base is for every plane and then the design/theme may be different similar to how they currently have different tail art. Makes sense, pretty cool!

Yep! The new blue will take some getting used to for me, but I love the new tail design philosophy and how it extends onto the fuselage.

Oh yeh, that “Canyon Blue” is low-maintenance and never fades into Mardi Gras Purple.

Nice livery. Wish they used that money to pay their dispatchers more in expensive NYC.

It’s coming. Thankfully

So... Southwest Blue as a base?

When you see 1970's Bathroom Tile, think: Jet Blue.

 

[Minuteman]

The mint tiles remind me the F-35 before it goes into a paint bay.



(yes I'm a little disappointed they went with a blue airplane even though blue is their "thing", but I love that they want to be interesting)

I like it. Worried a bit about how it's gonna age. The NorthEast weather is quite unforgiving to fancy paint schemes.

How much does all that paint weigh vs. the mostly white bird?

How much energy does blue absorb vs reflect in the Florida Sun. Hopefully the ground air is able to keep up.

All in all... typical merger/rebranding stuff as outlined by Bethune in his book if I remember right... new paint is first. I'm expecting new uniforms sometime in the next year or so.

I still like the 1960's bird the best.

An A320 White vs Fancy isn't that much. Maybe 100 lb, likely closer to 50.

Just remove any cattle class oat and water service and it'll even out.

I honestly can't recall what JB jets look like. Were they not blue before?

Invert the white and the blue and then give each plane a unique, blue based tail

 

[Flaps80]

In today’s day and age where it would’ve been easy for them to choose a bland livery, I’m glad they didn’t. I like it!

Those are pretty good mock ups of what I was describing. I'm impressed by your Photoshop skills.
