Interesting New DJ Paint Scheme

[markis10]

The relaunch of the new DJ paint scheme must be close, the new deliveries are not giving anything away:

I'm thinking it will be along the line of the V Australia livery. The top half of that 737 is a different shade of white to the belly of it. The white will make the Star Alliance logo stand out much more than the red would

That's quite, umm, plain.

It is a very plain, plane.

Surprising that the tail thin is also white, usually that is painted before the plane is even finished, and before it is flown.

Featuring DJ's very very hard seats. Had the displeasure last week.... I've sat on softer concrete!!

Perhaps they are going to rip them all out when the relaunch over the next few years....

Maybe they are after contracts from the CIA to transport people "to safer places"

It is very, very plain. Definitely an extension from the usual "No PE, No L2A" that they usually do with new planes.

I read an article with the head of the rebranding saying the red jets are staying.

I reckon it'll be a reversed version of the VS/VX livery.

My backside must be harder than concrete because I don't find the seats to be hard at all.

Could they be obscuring 'Virgin Australia' by any chance

Perhaps, but the Virg bit that does show looks a different font.

Other sites are rumoring virgin pacific, guess we'll find out soon.

This plane apparently has a gap in the paint/logo on the reverse side between virgin and the afl logo, so we might be waiting a little longer

A picture I saw of the other side has the sentence 'Virgin Blue proudly flying the AFL'.

It's interesting that the blue bands on the engine have been discarded.

The actual bird:

As I mentioned over in the 'V Pacific' thread it could be that the recently delivered white-birds from Boeing were being delivered to allow for this livery, or this could be an interim one until the new branding is announced.

C'mon Dave, tell 'em to hurry up and tell us things

 

[oz_mark]

Just looks like big stickers stuck on the plane to me

 

[Virgin Australia]

C'mon Dave, tell 'em to hurry up and tell us things

It was quite enjoyable watching the chatter around the white birds and the missing livery!

How interesting....No Virgin Logo on the tail

How interesting....No Virgin Logo on the tail

Perhaps you mean : How interesting....No [insert new branding] Logo on the tail or if you were cheeky, how interesting....No AirNZ Logo on the tail

What an excellent marketing ploy by DJ, I for one am checking up all the time to see what they come up with. One thing I have come to expect= The unexpected, I think we will all be surprised.
