My Thoughts on the New United Airlines Livery
24 April 2019 – United Airlines unveiled its brand-new livery today in Chicago. I was invited to be there to see their new livery!
Watch the video for the exciting ceremony and thoughts from United staff and the management. Towards the end of the video , I share my thoughts about the new United livery.
--------
In this video, we examine the new, blue livery of United Airlines and witness the unveiling ceremony of this striking, new, somewhat electric livery which took place at the O’ Hare international airport in Chicago recently.
Before the unveiling of the new livery, we hear inspiring and informative speeches surrounding the history of United Airlines liveries, their designers and the design process from Mike Hanna, vice president of O’ Hare operations and the CEO of United Airlines, Oscar Munoz.
We are reminded of the legendary saul bass livery which adorned the outside of United Airlines fleet for 19 years between 1973 and 1984, consisting of the infamous United Airlines tulip logo and red, orange and blue stripe pattern on the fuselage and the “summarise and symbolise” philosophy of Saul Bass, which has underpinned the design of this most recent, new, blue United Airlines livery.
We also hear from the vice president of marketing at United Airlines Mark Krolick, in a documentary film broadcast at the unveiling ceremony regarding the specific design elements of the new United Airlines livery including the blue globe, new blue cheat line, the new billboard style “United Airlines” lettering on the outer fuselage and the new slogan – Connecting people, Uniting the world. There is also a discussion of the derivation of the specific shades of blue used in the design from nature.
After the unveiling moment, we speak further with other United Airlines employees regarding the new livery and also have a detailed discussion with Mark Krolick in the flesh regarding the new design and the rationale behind keeping things simple and the exclusive use of the colour blue.
Finally, we give our own honest and open opinion about the new United Airlines livery and consider how this new livery will play a part in United Airlines mission to become the number one, premier US airline.
Livery has always been a subject of emphasis and even of controversy throughout the history of United Airlines. It was in 2010, when United Airlines merged with Continental airlines, that the globe aspect of the logo and livery was inherited by United from the latter. The globe replaced the tulip logo which caused many to take to social media to demand the reinstatement of the tulip – professional graphics designers at the time criticised the removal of the tulip aspect of the livery, citing it as a much stronger source of brand recognition than the new globe. It was also revealed that this new livery of 2010 had been thought up exclusively by the CEO at the time, Jeff Smisek, and the CEO before him, Glenn Tilton, without any help or input from anybody else.
What did you think of the new livery? What has been your favourite design of United Airlines livery so far? Let us know in the comments and, as always, thanks for watching!

Downpatrick is a medium-sized town about 33 km south of Belfast in County Down, Northern Ireland. It has been an important site since ancient times. Its cathedral is said to be the burial place of Saint Patrick.
As the largest town in the Lecale area, Downpatrick is a commercial, recreational and administrative centre for the locality and serves as a hub for the nearby towns and villages. Within a 30 minutes drive from Belfast, the location serves as a commuter town for a large number of people. The town has a number of primary and post-primary schools educating students from all over the east Down area.
Downpatrick is characterised by the rolling drumlins that are a feature of the Lecale area and a legacy of glaciation during the Pleistocene, the Down drumlins themselves are underlaid by Ordovician and Silurian shales and grits. Its lowest point lies within the marshland surrounding the north east of the town, recorded as being 1.3 ft (0.40 m) below sea level. Downpatrick is approximately 22 miles (35 km) from Belfast and has a regular bus service to the city.

Ballynoe Stone Circle, a large circle of over 50 closely spaced upright stones, surrounding a mound which, when excavated, was found to contain two cists in which cremated bones were found, is only 2.5 miles (4 km) south in the hamlet of Ballynoe.
Down County Museum, is located on the Mall in English Street in Downpatrick and was formerly the old Down County Gaol. It was built between 1789 and 1796 at the behest of the County Grand Jury of Down under the supervision of Marquess of Downshire, the Earl of Hillsborough and the Hon Edward Ward, it was designed by architect Charles Lilly.

The Lecale peninsula covers an area of some 78 square miles (200 km2) between Downpatrick and Dundrum. It is an area of historical and geographic significance.
The Mound of Down or Rathkeltair is one of the major earthworks of Ulster, situated on the NW edge of Downpatrick it is a good example of an Iron Age defensive earthwork in the middle of which a Norman Motte and Bailey was built by John de Courcy after his defeat of Rory Mac Donlevy in 1177.

Tel Ser'a - Biblical Ziklag (BibleWalks.com)
Tel Ser'a (Tell esh-Shariah) is a large archaeological mound on the bank of Nahal Gerar (Wady esh Shariah) in the Western Negev region, 20KM NW of Beer-Sheba. The Arabic name - Tell esh-Shariah - means the mound of the Drinking place, as the lake on its eastern side was a source of water for the herds.
The horseshoe shaped hill covers an area of 16-20 Dunam, with a height of 14m above the area. A total of 13 ancient layers, starting from the Chalcolithic period (Layer XIII - 4th Millennium BC), through the Iron Age period (layers IV-VIII - 11th-6th century BC), up to the Byzantine period (Layer I - 6th/7th century AD), accumulating a height of 8-10m above the natural hill. The earlier periods are on the southern side, while the Iron Age period covers the entire hill. During the Byzantine period a monastery was built on the northern end of the Tel. In later periods the top of the hill was covered with hundreds of Muslim graves.
The site is identified by many scholars as the ruins of Biblical Ziklag. The Philistine city of Ziklag was given to David when he was hiding from King Saul. The Amalekites raided the city during his absence, capturing his wives (1 Samuel 30:1-3): And it came to pass, when David and his men were come to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had invaded the south, and Ziklag, and smitten Ziklag, and burned it with fire; And had taken the women captives, that were therein: they slew not any, either great or small, but carried them away, and went on their way. So David and his men came to the city, and, behold, it was burned with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captives. David later recaptured their booty. Excavations on the Tel confirmed it started as a Philistine city. The city then became part of the Judean Kingdom (1 Samuel 27:6): Then Achish gave him Ziklag that day: wherefore Ziklag pertaineth unto the kings of Judah unto this day.
During WW1 the Turkish army was stationed here. A military railway passed on the south side; its raised land is visible near the southern foothills. It was captured by British and ANZA forces on Nov 2, 1917.

David, A Man After God’s Heart - Searching for a King: Episode 4
Go to the origin of the City of David and see exactly how the Bible describes that David’s men were able to capture the Jebusite stronghold of Jerusalem and make it Israel's capital. See artifacts of war and gain a perspective of the walls of Jerusalem that could have allowed David to look down on Bathsheba, leading to a sin that will follow him for the rest of his life. Finally, go to the Gihon Spring and stand in the location where Solomon would have been anointed successor to David.
