I'm sure they'd love to lose "Midland" to make the name feel a bit less provincial....but I'm sure a certain OneWorld airline might not like that...
Personally, I can see the logic in introducing wording (especially as googling "bmi" just reminds me how fat I am...), but I really don't see the point of messing with the letters part of the logo - purely as the fleet will now look like it's not painted correctly....just as they were getting on top of it too.

I never knew it actually originally stood for "Queensland and Northern Territory Aerial Services Limited" until I did some digging. A great fact for a Wednesday lunchtime!
Hmm.....how's about a rename to British And Regional, Middle-east + Yemen Airways perhaps.......... or something.....

Given the problems with somepeople not even knowng it is an airline, I'd have gone with a tailfin as the new logo myself:
- With appologies for my tailfin shape not looking exactly like a tailfin, but you ge the idea. Also keeps the british bit up, which they claim they are keen to retain.

Perhaps you meant to say, any major airlines that use 'International' without also mentioning that they're an airline in their name...airline, ...airlines, ...airways, ...air system.

Seems the old logo is already in use!
Take a look at this site:

Spookily close to the old Bmi one. I saw the trailer on the M25 with the logo on the back and had to take a double look - thought it was the German take over of our roads too
