I think the scheme's alright, nice and simple! But that's just my laymen's view on things.

Nonetheless, I'll still be flying with Virgin irrespective of the paint or name on the aircraft

Default Virgin Australia

So they drip fed us and made us think something really special was coming, and then this ****e comes along.

Looks like they have whacked a couple of stickers on their albino 737.

I was expecting a V Australia style or Vigin Atlantic style livery, Not this.

I think I could have come up with something alot better.

I'll never be able to tell the difference between their A330s and Air Calin from a distance

Seriously, what were they thinking?

Craig, Joe Punter may not care, but branding psychology is a real thing. People do recognise VB and its red planes. There's nothing automatically wrong with a new name or livery, but this livery is really bad.
I totally agree. It needs a splash of purple on the "Virgin Australia' titles. A 10 year old could have designed this livery. It's a real anticlimax.

I like it, a nice plain scheme and easier to maintain than the faded blotchy red in use at the moment. Its not a brilliant scheme but in my eyes its fine.

Do you want to take that back.

LOL!!!! Well OMG why on earth did they not make the new livery appealling???

All it needs to brighten up such a bland look, is the word Virgin done in purple! The pale grey is way too pale...

Some people have their taste in their rear ends... and have no idea?

Waste of money...

Anyway I will say this, that teaches them for not revealing a "proposed" livery and getting feedback first!
