PHOTOS: Alaska Airlines Unveils New Alaska-Themed Livery
The newest special livery of Alaska Airlines has taken to the skies. This eye-catching paint job commemorates the airline's home state of Alaska and is painted on a Boeing 737-800. This brand new Alaska-themed livery is painted on N559AS, a 16-year-old Boeing 737-890 which is the former "Salmon-Thirty-Salmon" jet. (aeroxplorer.com) 기타...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
It's totemic art. Art inspired by the Coastal Native groups of Southeast Alaska.
I still like the original portrayal of a native Alaskan.
Me too!
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.
You'd be amazed at how much money almost any company will piss away with high frequency to try to stay visually appealing and "fresh".
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!
