I'd vote to rejuvenate it too. Not a priority but something that will be worth doing some time in the next few years. And indeed, the AF example is not a bad one, the new version was clearly recognisable but managed to feel modern and make the old one feel just that. LX went through a similar modernisation of its livery as did TK and AZ. IB was more radical but I think their effort has been quite successful.

And I sympathise with Marcusm's comments - while some of the ethnic tails were nicer than others, I think the negative reaction was rather over the top and there was an interesting concept in using a palette of liveries rather than a single version.
