I almost wonder if Parker hasn't engineered this employee poll up to fail by intentionally asking the wrong question. His proposal is a half-baked appeasement that leaves the plane looking manic and jumbled. Of course nobody likes it... you can't have TWO logos!

Please read my thoughts here, and check out my suggestion for a combination livery that uses both the new and old looks...

PS
You - and Patrick Smith - are absolutely right. The logo is awful. Okay, so the tail is bad, too. But that logo. I like what Patrick Smith said: What exactly is that new, Greyhound Bus-esque logo? It looks like an eagle’s beak poking through a shower curtain. Or, as one person described it to me, “a linoleum knife cutting through a red and blue tile.” No other word will do: it’s horrible. If it’s not the worst corporate trademark I have ever seen,

And it is silly to have two logos. How about the new "billboard" look on the fuselage sans that awful logo. And the traditional tail?
