Even worse than before, of course. Every rebranding they have done is a disaster. The only one that was good was the old Sabena logo back before Swissair went bankrupt.
This is what failing airlines usually do, they rebrand themselves a couple of times before D-day in the hope of shaking off the curse of the impending insolvency.

OMG, I hope no one at the LH group paid anything for the SN rebrand. It looks like something which is the result of a primary school project so maybe it was a competition with something like lanyards for all as the prize.

It seems SN is now to be fully integrated into the LHG universe, taking over the LHG activities for Africa too:
Also interesting is that they are the pilot for the new LH Group app. Took a look last night and the version live is rather rudimentray but I like the new booking engine.

I doubt it. Never saw more than five people in the HON section in the lounge and most of the time it was just one or two. That special section with some additional catering is probably deemed sufficient (by SN, not me...).. A HON section in the non-Schengen lounge might be an idea, if the infrastructure allows.

I'm surprised that our Polish friends have not yet pointed out the similarities with this logo...
Maybe SN should wait with repainting the rest of the fleet until the lawyers have sorted it out...

It would appear that the rebrand is not without problems. Not only does the plane seem to have caught chicken pox, Gazeta PL, a well established Polish News Agency has taken exception to their logo being copied.

It also looks like a cheap version of Croatia Airlines.
Equally, the rebrand is external only so the interiors of the planes remain run down and miserable.

According to Brussels Airlines, this represents “the diversity of its customers, its destinations and its employees”.
Red dots represent all this? red dots usually indicate an STD or chicken pox.
are they stoned? Do they hear themselves? it’s what happens when you leave marketing to a bunch of intern stoners…..

Indeed, they also screwed up the previous one, I remember that they had to add a 14th red dot because some superstitious travelers wouldn't fly on a 13-dot bus. Maybe Sabena would have been a safer choice, at least they knew what they'd get.
