I've thought about that, then checked out Frontier's website. Do they even have a logo anymore? They have photos on their tails, so it seems to me that you can have these images on tails, but on the cocktail napkins, just have a globe or U...(I'm sure you can do both).

As I see it, the U will always be around because it is called United. (You cannot have it be called Continental with the United livery...it wouldn't make sense). You have to have the globe because it's a merger of "equals"... and "we" are the largest global airline.

One image was done by Anthony Airport, and the other image was done by Eric Smith? Both are very good in different ways. One comment I posted on Facebook: Save the Tulip:

A few things: I like how the U and Globe go off to one side. I love how the top is dark blue, like when you are flying at 35,000 feet and look up, you see the dark blue above. The bottom part fades a bit...it's as if we see the haze from the clouds as we are flying above the globe. Interesting; I feel like jet setting - flying at 35,000 feet while looking at this. Major Thumbs up.

Anyway, everybody seems to like these images a lot!
