Remember the "clown nose"?

Until all of the airplanes are repainted, you'll probably see some "mix-and-match" livery. When Delta changed paint schemes several years ago, cowling and radome substitutions by maintenance made for some funny-looking airplanes.

The font is all wrong.

All that comes to mind is .....MONEY!...about 9B worth in cash. The paint looks mighty fine to me, but I have always liked the CAL paint scheme. I could care less what "font" they used to write United on the plane. At least the planes I fly don't say "Express" or "Connection" on the side of them. That would REALLY be ugly in any "font".

. I think United should have done like Delta did with NW and just scrap the Continental livery all together instead of the whole Uni-nental / Conti-nited thing.

Yea but if you look at the latest Delta paint scheme you'll see that they put their widget pointing to the Northwest. (on one side like NWA had) They just debuted the look prior to announcing the merger.
