The legendary Cathay Pacific 747-400 with the Brushwing livery. If you have flown Cathay Pacific to Hong Kong at any time during the 1990’s to the early 2000’s, there’s a pretty good chance you got a ride on a 747-400. This is the aircraft I think of whenever I think of Cathay Pacific, which (for years) was the backbone of their global operations. The tail logo features a representation of a wing, with a brush-like texture which sweeps upwards.Īlthough they operate a huge fleet of different aircraft types, I decided to do my first illustration of this livery on an airplane that is no longer part of their fleet: the 747-400. Introduced in November 1994, the “Brushwing” livery is a perfect depiction of what it is. The modern Cathay Pacific color palette has been designed exactly the way I would have done it myself: Clean, classy, and professional – without being over the top. It’s difficult to put my finger on exactly what it is that makes me likes Cathay Pacific liveries so much, but you already know that I’m a fan of muted colors. Arguably one of the finest airlines in the sky, their corporate branding has always been subtle and classy in a way that makes me compare everyone else in the industry to them – and it’s been that way ever since I was a kid and just starting to get into airplanes. There are very few airline liveries out there that I like more than the Cathay Pacific livery (no matter which one it is).
