Sorry, but what does Blue have to do with Germany? One of the many things I love about Lufthansa is how their brand distinctly gives off a German feel, and the yellow (Although not quite a German color prior to the 20th century) aided in that.

Even if you only fill out the circle with the crane on the tail with blue instead of yellow that would be "more blue than before".

I gave it a go, had to keep it low to make room for the titles.

*LH's brand team suddenly scrambles and contacts lostsound* Lostsound shows up to work in a luxury car a week later with LH HON Circle membership.

Hey, great idea!
I'll take a car too - navy blue and silver are my favourite car colours thanks - for my original idea, lol!
Lostsound did an awesome job, agreed! I really hope that the new LH livery looks as good as Lostsound's image!
Cheers,

No offense but none of the amateur designs that have been posted here look like anything Lufthansa would want to put on their planes of years to come.

There is a reason why design/advertising agencies exists and why companies are paying them lots of money. Redesigning a brand's visual appearance, including the livery, is a complicated and time consuming process that requires expertise and a lot of man-hours. Just because some of you don't understand that, doesn't change the fact. And if you think you could do that in an afternoon with Photoshop, then let me tell you: No. No, you can't.

The reason why most of us won't like the new livery at first is simply because humans are uncomfortable with change. It needs time. And sure, some corporate designs are more boring or less recognizable or more short-lived than others. But i have a feeling that Lufthansa is not going to fall in that trap...

Man,
I couldn´t agree more.
Very well said!
It´s ok to express one´s own opinion on a particular design but all this talk of "I like it, I don´t like it, I wish they´re do it like this, I wish they wouldn´t change it" is just plain talk that brings absolutely nothing to the discussion.
Many will be disappointed by the new livery. Many will like it. LH has made a decision and I doubt their continued success will depend on the new livery.

Isn't expressing opinions pretty much what discussion forums exist for? People have the right to their opinions and you have the right to not read them. I'm not sure what you think the patronising attitude of our post and the one you were agreeing with is adding here tbh.

Thing is, mindlessly bitching about "Eurowhite" when the entire global design community has been trending toward minimalism for at least a decade doesn't really serve a purpose. Perhaps critics should read a book or reach out to a design professional on Twitter and try to understand the logic, rather than whining about how they want more color (or a return of cheatlines ).

I would really be disappointed if this here above would be the actual new livery. Very bland, boring and unimaginative. The 'wrap-around' under the empennage has been done before by Iberia, Alitalia, Airbus, American, Scoot and Qantas (among many others, I'm sure) so that is hardly original or recognisable. The crane looks OK to me, but the yellow and warm blue was so much more classic and characteristic... At first glance, the new blue/silver on the tail looks a lot like the Skyteam livery.

Come on LH, you could do a lot better. I think a LH livery should ooze class and reliability, that is not the same as boredom.

I wonder why all those fan-made renderings have the original Lufthansa titles...
A Lufthansa representative confirmed that the new livery will feature new titles more than a week ago.

Also: The leaked livery with the black tail was known before it "got leaked".
I guess the picture only showed the tail so no one sees the new titles yet.
