Austrian has painted one of their A340s in their new livery.

I think it looks great! This has to be one of the best looking A340s around!

It looks a bit 'childish' to me... (like a kid drew the c/s)

It is a bit plain... too ordinary... sorry

Well, it's not too bad, it looks quite nice. I have seen better schemes, but this one looks right. I liked the old color scheme better though, it looked more business like, more elegant and classic.
Compared to the new one, this new color scheme lookes more modern and fresh.

The new design's nice, but the baby-blue engines and the blue belly look a bit cheesy. Red - or a darker blue - would have been stronger.

Well I think Austrian's new colours are absolutely awesome!!

I too think this is a nice smart colour scheme. One thing though is it just me or the way the light is in the picture but is the belly blue and the engines blue 2 different shades?

Looks plain and decent, I personally liked SIA livery on the A340s.

I actually like the new colour scheme its neat and simple and not too boring like the shock horror that Tap Portugal are doing to its fleet.

Is it just me or does this particular aircraft seem to be very dirty on the top of the fuselage?

It's nice to see this new colorscheme on this A340.
The colors are sunny and light, it's pleasant.

No, I think it is condensation.

The new livery looks much better than the old one, even if the blue is a bit to light, but on their A319's it looks really cool ! Good job of the designer, indeed !
