I had been looking for the standards to find the font name but was surprised not to find it in the Press Kit area on delta.com. I did notice, though, that the blue color in the logo is lighter than the color on the logo on delta.com. Once I identified what the color code was, a Google search for "delta" and the color code pointed me to the info that I was looking for:

Delta Blue is #003366.
Also, I would think that the SkyTeam logo might should be dropped altogether unless there really is some partnership that directly involves them.
Canarsie, what graphics app are you using?

I am using Adobe InDesign, and the vector graphics were downloaded directly from Delta Air Lines. Regarding the graphics from Delta Air Lines, I have changed nothing — not even the colors.
The old logo for the event for this year is on top, and the new logo is directly below it:
...so that you can compare for yourselves.

I still don't see the difference.

I must admit that the comparison between the Frutiger and Whitney typefaces is closer than I thought. My original choice of Frutiger was probably the closest without using Whitney...

That's because it means you'll have to take your eyes off the hot blond. 
Take a look at the "R" in the OUR, where the right hand leg joins the loop, it's curved in the fruitiger / original version and it's perfectly straight in the Whitney / new version. Hope that helps.
Maybe if you ask the hot blond to stand behind your monitor, you'll be able to focus better.

I'm heartbroken, but let's just say there'd be trouble if I was there, let's speak no more of this...

Skoker -- your presence will be noted in spirit. Perhaps another time, but in the meantime, may best come your way.

the dash
When I compare the two, it looks to me that the biggest difference is in the type (length) of the dash. The old (top) one has a 1/m-dash while the newer (bottom) one has a 1/n-dash. Thus, the shorter dash doesn't hit the boundary.

Believe it or not, when I changed the typeface from Frutiger to Whitney, I did not change the length of the dash. However, I am thinking about lengthening it.
