MH Unveils New A380 Livery and Corporate Image

[Desert Traveller]

A signboard of epic fail.

I guess it was cheaper to re-use a competitor's slogan than paying for a new one.

This has got to be the biggest joke of the century....I dont know what to make out of this signboard by MH below...hahahaha. SQ will be pleasantly pissed off I guess

"Eighth To Fly" just doesn't have the same ring to it.

Their marketing could have got away with that if they had just added "from KUL to LHR".

I'm sure that was the intent.

Unfortunately, budget cuts mean they would have to minimize the number of words used.

Yawn.

Why do most people here put MH down

[diecastdrool]

@k3nnis: common sense I guess...would you defend your own property if a thief broke into your house and stole your belongings? Would you put the thief down or let him have the Greatest Singapore Sale shopping-spree instead? hehe...

Not sure what to make of that...definitely competing with the CZ 388s for the ugliest paint scheme out there.

I do not like the strip on the engine. Make it ugly. The overall color scheme is soo dull

"Eighth To Fly" just doesn't have the same ring to it.

I showed this picture to my friend.

His opinion that the sign suppose to refer to the passenger to be the first to fly on (MH) A380". I think it is a direct translation from Malay, "pertama terbang dengan A380" or something like that, as this is the inaugural flight right?

Just because they're the first to write it in Malay still doesn't change the fact that they're not the first to fly the A380.

I know. But it is refered to the pax who will be the first flying (MH) A380, as this is their maiden flight.

But I think the text is grammatically incorrect in English (?) as it ia a direct translation from Mlay I suppose, or the purposely do that?

"Pertama Terbang dengan A380" can have 2 different meanings depends on whether the subject is MH or its passengers. If it is meant to refer to MH, it is totally wrong because we all know that MH is the Eighth to fly this type of aircraft.

If it is meant to refer to the passengers on that inaugural flight, then it is also not entirely correct as many passengers would have already flown on a A380 with SQ, QF, EK, AF, KE, LH, and CZ. I would think "First to Fly MH A380" is a more accurate tag line to use in this case.

Booked my girlfriend on MH3 for tomorrow (managed to get it on a BD codeshare for £340 one-way EDI-LHR-KUL.. £1100 if booked in MH number ). Only just found out it was an A380 thanks to this thread Upper deck seats assigned and unlike me she is not excited but is scared since it is a new aircraft therefore 'hasn't been tested yet'
