Flew MSP-SFO on Sat. Was served my beer win a new glass -- thinner (lighter?) and barrel shaped (rather than cylindrical), and with the new logo in white, not blue.

And then a new coffee mug. Also thinner, with a pointy handle and the new logo.

So exciting!!! Returned yesterday, and it was back to the old stuff. So I guess it was one-day only.


And yes, I do need a life...

Quick! Someone grab a camera and post some pictures next time you see 'em...

Is the new coffee mug white with just the gray compass-style logo on it? The MSP concourse C WC was filled with them Saturday. They looked new but I wasn't sure if they had changed or if it was just my imagination.

Just had the new beer glass for the first time DTW-MSP. The lady next to me was served her water in the old style glass. It's the same height as the old one, just slightly more barrell shaped with the new nwa logo on it.

It's ok, I broke the news about the seat color changing on the reservations page...

And I also broke the news about the OLCI new seat map graphic...

You're not alone.

I guess we now know where all the extra money is going to from selling the RoachChoice(tm) seats. Next it will be a new NW logo or softer paper drink napkins (I hope).

I saw it coming back from MEM to DTW on Monday. I was a little sad inside that I could notice something like that. Couple it with I was excited that I got the June Worldtraveler magizine two days earlier.. .now I need a life..

I was served this glass a few weeks ago on a DTW-BUF flight.

Now we have to start stealing the old glass wear as momentos

Nah, just buy them on eBay. I remember seeing a retired NWA employee selling the old glassware, shot glasses, etc.

I'm a fanatic about this stuff. Yet I consider myself to "have a life"

Added 2 pics to the NW page on my (small and under perpetual construction "airline museum") website.

Scroll to the bottom for the new stuff. I need to get busy since my collection has soooo much more than what I have on this page.
Also need to learn how to use my didgital camera for better pics

The mugs have been around a few months (silverware started showing up first). I had the drink glasses (no wine glasses yet) show up for the first time over the Memorial Day weekend. I think the new glass is thicker (others in this thread have said thinner) than the old ones.

So.... seeing the new glas for the 1st time...
I had to ask the Flight Attendant if I could have the glass since it had the new logo ( I also asked for another 'Rum-n-Coke' ..err.. 'Rum-n-Pepsi' ... yuk, but that's another discussion). She looked at me strange, said she didn't hear anything and that she also fails to see a lot of things. Brought my fresh cocktail in a fresh (new logo) glass along with a bunch of napkins. She somehow failed to then pick up my 'dirty' glass. Also failed to pickup my 2nd (now empty) glass when she did her 'final pre-landing cabin check'. I didn't want her to get into trouble so I secured this 'oversight' myself by placing it into my underseat carry-on bag

When do the new wine glasses come out ??

OK, call me nuts.....I care less what I drink out of )as long as it is clean)...What is this obsession with glasses and dinnerware?

(It is not just NW is is all forums)

Now if they would serve meals

The lead FA in first class let me keep one of the old mugs after I asked. I guess it does pay to look like a poor graduate student! I like the old logo much more than the new one. It certainly seems like a lot more thought went into its design.
