JetBlue Shakes Its Newest Tailfeather
You may call us whatever you want, but we really enjoy when an airline decides to change things up with their paint scheme. It’s nothing too dramatic, but JetBlue revealed some new colors, patterns, and font for their fleet last week. The most noticeable change in the livery is that they’ve really increased the size of the wording on the sides of their planes. You’ll now know that a JetBlue plane is getting ready to come into the gate from a mile away. These changes will take place over some time, so if you’re headed out to the airport this week, you’ll probably be stuck with the old livery.
Any fan of airlines knows that JetBlue loves different designs for their tails; dots, stripes, plaid...it's all theirs. Along with upgrades elsewhere, they’ve released a new tail design—blueberries. It’s pretty much just some snazzy blue circles with white at the top, but like we said—new tail designs are awesome. Despite its simplicity, we say it’s a winner, and we’ll be eager to see it from T5 at JFK. There should be five of these in the sky by the end of the year.
In addition to the new tailfin design, the airline is also looking for one other new one. Unfortunately we don’t work for JetBlue, but if we did, we’d be all over the new tailfin design contest for JetBlue crewmembers. We can’t design an entry, but the public will be able to vote for the winner late this year and into early 2010. Let’s just hope the airline cuts a little bit of cash from the paint budget for a little more in-flight WiFi. Beta Blue just isn’t going to cut it in 2010.
