Airline Branding Center / Airline Livery Assistance
« on: June 14, 2012, 10:03:49 pm »
As a prenote, I'm kinda making this thread to get some help with my own livery, but if anybody else that is trying to make their own livery or improve upon it wants to use it, I don't have any problem with that.

So basically I finally finished the preliminary study for what I want my airline Vanguard Airways' livery to look like, and while I'm mostly satisfied with it, I'd like some opinions on it.



For starters;

  • How does the livery look as it is? Originally I'd planned to use a stripe down along the windows, but I eventually settled for a bit of a more contemporary livery, more white than anything. (Also wanted to get away from my pattern of having the bottom of the aircraft in silver or bare metal lined with gold.)
  • Any suggestions as to how to make it look better? I know the stars aren't my best work so far, but that is probably going to be one of the things I come back around and change. Making the stripes flow like a flag was so much easier...
  • Any suggestions as to how to modernize it? I kinda made this as a late 70's/early 80's paint job, and one of my ideas for toning it down for more of a uniform look for general fleet aircraft is to go with a low-visibility kinda look like the military does. Instead of red substitute silver or grey, stuff like that.
I'm not really going to be able to start working on this again for a little while, but it would be great to get some feedback!

Vanguard Airways (VGA)
Leaders in Exceptional Flight Service

Moving forward from the one year anniversary of operations in Houston, Texas, Vanguard Airways continues its push to compete with airlines worldwide. In one year Vanguard has gone from the smallest to the fourth largest airline in the world, transporting over 25,000 passengers daily with a fleet of 28 aircraft, the second largest in the world. Predominantly serving North America, Vanguard has over 80 destinations including flights to the Bahamas, Canada, Cuba, and Mexico.

Vanguard surpassed the mark of being worth over 1 billion within its first year, and looks to continue with this performance in our second year. Other objectives for our second year include further developing our operations in Orlando, FL- with possible connections to the entire Carribean- and beginning the replacement process of our Boeing 727-200 Advanced models.



Vanguard Airways Fleet

3x Boeing 727-200 Adv. (1 on order)
7x Boeing 737-200 Adv. HGW (3 on order)
8x Fairchild Hiller FH-227E
5x Fokker F28 Fellowship 6000 (1 on order)

Predominantly Vanguard currently operates into well developed and more international in nature airports. Despite our plans to eventually replace the Boeing 727-200 Adv., there are no competing aircraft out there at the moment, thus these plans will likely be shelved for a while. One has been ordered to begin service out of our hub in Orlando, FL.

Vanguard has a strong business relation with Boeing, being the launch customer of the Boeing 737-200 Advanced HGW model. This aircraft consists the majority of Vanguard's fleet due to its versatility and performance, and will likely see service through Vanguard's years.

8 Fairchild Hiller FH-227Es have been put into service to fly into smaller airports, and at the current time there are no plans to procure additional aircraft.

5 Fokker F28 Fellowship 6000s have been put into service, with an order for an additional unit soon to be fulfilled- predominantly used for smaller airports that the 737-200 is less suited for. The short range of the aircraft however has led to internal studies for the replacement of the aircraft.

General Chat / AM Livery Competition Round 3 Voting
« on: August 18, 2011, 07:23:30 am »
In the fashion of the last poll, we'll have the results hidden until the end of the poll. Voting will last 6 days, should be more than enough time for anybody that wants to get their vote in to do so.

Since some of the images weren't uniform in size, I figured I would post them in a different manner. The submissions are as follows;

Shawa-


AirbusL1011-


danio100-


A380YURY-


1993matias-


hay-airlines-


bolli-



Vote for the livery that you believe is best, please refrain from voting for your own livery, and good luck to all of the entrants!

Since everybody's apparently taken the route of bickering amongst eachother instead of actually starting it, I'll take the initiative to do so..



Airline Mogul Livery Competition Round 3[/u]

Welcome to Round Three of the competition! The goal of this round is to make a retro styled livery of your own airline (Not a real life airline). All of the usual rules will apply (Must be your own work, can enter only one livery), and entries for this competition will close in one week (8/17/11 by my clock)

Hopefully this should get some activity back to this forum, but who knows..

General Chat / AM Livery Competition Round 3?

Hopefully I didn't get any of your hopes up with the title, but when are we going to try for a Round 3? It's been a while since Round 2 (Even longer than it took between R1 and R2)..

I've got an idea for what we could do for this round, its just as to whether or not people would be willing to do it. (And if we had anybody to do it.. the forums have been a little bit more quiet than I'm used to)

Airline Reports / [PW#1889] Knighthawk Airways
« on: June 04, 2011, 01:12:14 am »
Knighthawk Airways (KHA)

Recently commencing operations in São Paulo, operating mainly out of São Paulo/Guarulhos-Governador Andre Franco Montoro International Airport (SBGR), Knighthawk Airways currently serves airports across Brazil with a fleet of four Airbus A320-200s.

Knighthawk Airways is currently looking to expand its operations with the new subsidiary Knighthawk Airways Regional, bringing connections from smaller airports to the international airports. In addition to Knighthawk Airways Regional, Knighthawk Airways has also formed the Crux Alliance with the noted intent of a fellow Southern Hemisphere airline- Borongaj Airlines- to allow for more exceptional service within and between South America and Africa.

Knighthawk Airways currently operates four Airbus A320-200s, and looks forward to the delivery of two CASA C-212-400 Aviocars for use in the Knighthawk Airways Regional division. Pending the performance of these aircraft in their role, Knighthawk Airways may exercise an option for 6 additional aircraft.

Future plans for Knighthawk Airways fleet aircraft are a mid-range aircraft to bridge the gap between our Crux ally Borongaj Airlines, such as an Airbus A330 or Boeing 767.
