Which airline has the best livery, and of course, the worst!

Ed Force One.

Might not qualify as an 'airline' livery, but I've always found it interesting. And the backstory behind it...

I didn't get a photo but I remember walking out along a jetbridge and seeing the aircraft at the gate beside us. I think it was boarding an easyJet flight out of Geneva in 2011.
 
Saw an Alaska Airlines B737-700 in Vegas but my photo didn't do it justice as I was too far away but 'borrowed' a pic on Google images below. Rego is N607AS in the colours of the Portland Timbers, a Major League Soccer Team.

I must admit, the new American livery is growing on me. I'm sure it will date very quickly, but it looks quite sleek and minimalist at the moment. Almost Apple inspired.

Having seen a lot of the new livery already, I love it. I thought it was great before I saw it, now i've seen it on all of their a/c variants, I love it even more.

I don't know if it'll date that quickly tbh. The old livery was looking pretty ancient (although the fact that American terminals in general look like they're in stuck in the 50's doesn't help).
 
And a winner for total lack of imagination goes to......

My apologies to ParkingGo - their work looks positively zany compared to this lame effort................

I don't know much about this outfit depicted here but speaking of interesting aircraft histories.......

A most uninspiring Livery, seen it in Melbourne on an overcast day it looks like it came out of cold war era Russia.

The OP reminds of a flight we took last year to see a Bledisloe game. 200+ All Black fans including Sir Graham Henry and us two, in gold. The captain made an announcement that we were to get water only.
