Lettering on Widebodies

[Dignity]

Why is medical coverage even tied to whom you work for? How did companies in this country ever get in the medical and pension coverage? That is an argument for someother thread.

Now back to paint...I also dislike this Citgo widget and yes I think the Delta title gets lost on the widebodies.

if I am remembering correctly, health insurance tied to employment started right after the depression and started to grow after world war 2...it became popular because the premiums were tax-deductible to the employers and were not taxable for the employee, it all had something to do with that period in America, job losses, depression, then war...probably in a way as a jump start to helping families..(one last thing to have to worry about) then it started to be viewed and accepted as a form of compensation.....
so with the country coming out of the great depression and war, it was probably a way to help people move along easier with their lives with duel benefits for both employer/employee. basically it was just a popular benefit at that time that stayed put..

Pensions are pretty much out the window..going forward(probably had something to do with the past as well, but I am not entirely sure how that was started exactly)..

I prefer the widget on the tail today.. as opposed to that drapery look..whatever that was??...what was that all about?

If I remember correctly, it had something to do with "flow"...(no, not Flo the waitress on "Alice!) and flags and...uhm.......oh, I can't remember!

Two more things:

THIS illustration is all I'm talking about in reference to the title of this thread. Simple fix if you ask me:

Secondly, here is an interesting article that came out in 2007 when Delta changed branding/livery:

in my opinion that is exactly how it should look! you can see the balance when the logo and name is positioned between door one and even though its past a little of door two... how the size of the font fits the size of the aircraft.

did you do that... modified drawing? if so thats good!

No, I'm not that talented of an artist , although I think I have good taste 😉
That link has been going around for a couple months now; not sure whose it is exactly, but they did a great job.

just the way the name is displayed can make such a difference!

Here's the A330, courtesy of a photographer who posts on airliners.net:

The D E L T A looks really small on this one. It's either the angle from which the photo was taken or maybe the painters in Victorville aren't doing the paint specs right on the lettering. <?>
Other than that, I think the Delta paint scheme looks really good on this particular a/c.

Here's the A330

actually the paint scheme on the 330 looks better than some of the others...they have taken the logo and positioned it starting at the first window so it appears more balanced from at least that one aspect.
