Based on this link, United plans to unveil an "evolution" to its globe livery next month-ish.

New Livery Coming in April
The new livery will be an evolution of the current scheme:

You beat me to posting by like a minute. I had been wondering if something like this was planned because all of the branding lately seems to allude to the globe but not emphasize it. Between this and the new announcements April 1, I wonder if a big brand push is coming. Maybe they'll get rid of the slop in Polaris (hahahaha)

I doubt that. I am pretty sure if I can see a brand new livery scheme. I bet they are exciting to see new UA livery scheme again. We want real United, not Continental livery scheme. It is from the past.

Prob something like the negative space globe they use for the Polaris bulkheads with no gold and a slightly different shade of dark blue (the Rhapsody blue).
Grey is still in the official palette so we’ll see if it’s still on the planes. This has the colors to speculate:

The wavy gold 787 Earl Scheib paint job won’t be missed!

I think the "Her Art Here" guidelines are a good place to start, meaning:
- Billboard UA wordmark on the fuselage, probably in "United Blue"
- drop the gold cheatline and deeper gray belly, with possibly a different color belly (Rhapsody Blue? Runway Gray?)
- Different tail treatment, with brand-standard globe art (rather than current appearance)
No doubt the rest of the fuselage will be white, and I don't think we'll see any of the accent colors on aircraft ("Premium Purple", "Atlantic Amethyst", "Pacific Blue") but you never know...

My guess is that they're going to go along the lines of Lufthansa. Drop the gold cheatline and gray underbelly for an all white scheme. The tail is painted United Blue with a gray negative space globe per cerealmarketer's suggestion above.

Anything to add some color to the fuselage would be nice. The current livery is pretty bland and looks about forty years old.. DL does a nice job with the deep blue belly and blue engines.

I'm so happy Kirby has found more toys to play with company money vs investing in customers, product and systems.
