PHOTOS: Alaska Airlines Unveils New Alaska-Themed Livery

It's totemic art. Art inspired by the Coastal Native groups of Southeast Alaska.

I still like the original portrayal of a native Alaskan.

Some of y'all don't seem to realize that this is a one-off special livery, not the new livery the whole fleet will use. They spent a ton of money on their rebrand a few years ago; they're aren't going to throw all that away. As a graphic designer and native PNW resident, I think it's a really well done design, though I thought they did a masterful job with the previous Salmon-Thirty-Salmon livery on that plane - sad to see that go.

Some may have no appreciation for the Native Alaskan art, but I'm just glad that AS keeps bringing us special liveries. Compared to the same ol', same ol' we see on virtually every DL & UA plane that flies in and out of SEA, it's really nice to see something different when you're out there plane spotting. AS rocks!

Well, I like it. I think it is a striking paint scheme. Good job Alaska.

Looks gorgeous!

I think somebody manipulates new squawks page. All posts have (-) votes except this post.

Really don’t care about the paint job. Want competent trained flight crew, a safe aircraft, comfy seats, decent food and drink, no add on fees and an on time arrivals.

No, I will not turn off my Ad-Blocker! I did get a glance at the paint job, and although it is eye-catching, it's also ugly.

Alaska Airlines is headquartered in Washington, SeaTac to be precise. How is Alaska their home state?

That's hideous, looks like some kind of psychedelic camo scheme.

a flying totem pole.

Appreciate the artwork's cultural significance but it's a little much for aircraft livery.

As the leader in providing advanced, accurate, actionable data and insights that inform every aviation decision

Have to turn off my Ad Blocker.. UGH.. No thanks. Interesting Paint Scheme... I think they could have done better... Looks like they went to a Kindergarten class to see what they could come up with. Not impressed.

That's almost as bad as Qantas's 'special liveries' - I did say "almost as bad"

What a MESS.

The Spirit of LSD!

They should stick with Jimi Hendrix on the tail.

I can hear the guy in the paint shop.

THEY WANT WHAT???

It's way to busy. I love the Native art but dont wantto drown the aircraft with it. I would love to see a "Golden Nugget" retro themed livery.

Condor's vertical stripes are worse, but not by a lot.

They tried to get rid of the "Charles Manson" on the tail years ago. There was so much negativity and protest against the change, they decided to keep it. I like the new paint better.

Oh nooooooooo, Mr Bill

Nice camouflage job. Switch off the transponder and you have a stealth 737 :)

It looks like some WWI battleship camouflage.I'll it bet would be really hard to spot in the approach pattern by other pilots. It's not ugly, but I'll bet it'll blend right in at low altitudes.

Gonna miss Barbara Bush on the tail…

All this paint adds weight to the aircraft and extra fuel burn.

Another gimick

I agree with Mr. Vallero. Safety first. A big waste of paint and added weight to the A/C. Stick with the 1st Nation Dude on the tail. Keep it simple.
