Ah common, it indeed does, I'll never get that view out of my head. Now I'll see a multipla nose over and over again :-(

Read it as humor, and don't read anything more than that in it. (I'll admit, you could read it otherwise) Don't we all remember this one? Nothing drama queen about it, but I never could get that out of my head neither.

sort of feels like it needs more red than that, even though it looks better with it removed. What about if the swoosh was the nose tip?

Indeed, without the second one and keep the first one as in the original livery, would be perfect.

it's not bad from this angle, but that fat centre swoosh at the nose is just out of place.

i'd rather have had that the rear wing endplates, front wing endplates, and either a spot on the sidetubs ala vodafone-era livery, or the vertical 'wing' at the corners of the sidepods near the cockpit would have been bright red. i would have enjoyed it more too if that big fat swoosh at the centre of the nose was as big as it is at the tip of the nose, with the corporate logos a bit higher up the nose.

i could live with the double shwoosh at the top of the sidepods, even though from this angle it looks like half of the spiderman logo.

I guess with the lines off the previous livery is would be cool. just the line around the nose.

I think the red at the very front of the nose looks strange: it's got a different contour (defined by the shape of the nose) to the other swooshes.

I agree some more red would be good though maybe the front and rear wing end plates would be enough.

I almost think they should not have the 'swoosh' on top of the sidepods, maybe on the sides? Can anyone make that?

I like they greyish colour, its the placements of the 'swooshish' i don't like. I reckon the old style red nose/tub line then the swoosh on the side of the sidepods might look ok?
