BrusselsNick · Post by **BrusselsNick** » 11 Jul 2006, 15:30

Hello everbody ,

We all know now that VEX and SN are going together and going to form one new company.

Now , I heard much new anouncements of names and new colourschemes , but does anyone know specifically what the new name and coulour scheme is going to be?

I heard and saw a new paint of SABENA , somebody said me that thats the new name and paint for the new company.

I'd like to know more , because i'm very curious!

greats and regards,

Nick ( Still a big Sabena fan 8) )

Only 8 people (of course also SN Brussels Airlines' chairman Etienne Davignon) know the new companyname (according to CEO Burrows in an article), start your guessing what the new name will be

hello ,

The name that spread was back SABENA , that would be very nice , so Sabena can live back in our eyes and minds ,

I've already seen the new paint but a friend of my has send me the drawing of it , but I couldn't find the URL , i'll keep looking for it.

But yeah , what would you choose Sn brussels Express , virgin Brussels , Sn virgin Airlines , brussels express,...

I don't have a thought !

I hope they reveal their new name and colors soon

greats ,

Nick

You will have to wait a while more, announcements are to be made in October.

An article in La Libre Belgique a few weeks back said that the name Sabena had been definitively rejected, according to sources close to SN Airholding. A pity!

O, what a pitty ,

A sprankle of hope to see the name SABENA back in Brussels falls in the water.

Keep searching for a name 8)

greats,

Nick

Forget any name with Virgin in it, as the name Virgin Express has to be gone next year anyway... They would have to pay big €€€ for the virgin franchise.

Anyone who can use photoshop can make a new paint sheme. We'll have to wait until octobre for the new name & color sheme. I certainly hope they keep the S-tail!

If I'm correct, SN already announced that they will keep the 'Lazy S'.

It's only today that I noticed that Sabena Technics no longer holds the S-tail in their commercial logo.

That's something else. Sabena Technics' owner is TAT, they don't have bands with SNBA.
Sabena Technics is just a company for maintenance of aircrafts. SNBA is a client of Sabena Technics.

My intuition never lets me down, and it says: Sabena European and Sabena African Airways

Just like Sabena Flight Academy has changed the S in their logo... I suppose it has to do with legal issues.

Why not SABEUROP and SABAFRICA

Funny new poll... too bad nobody wants to select the second option 8)

I believe it would cost way too much to buy the "SABENA"-name from the trusteeship.

Why do you think that? Is there a fixed price to buy the name, or do they just have to come to an agreement?

It seems someone selected it but didn't find its way to this topic yet

Or we have a liar on the site
