Abu Dhabi's emblem The design pattern named ‘Facets of Abu Dhabi’ uses a colour palette which reflects the varying hues of the landscape of the UAE, from the darker sands of Liwa to the lighter colours seen in the Northern Emirates.

The design development involved researching design options amongst Emiratis and international travellers to help select the final ‘winning’ livery.

The UAE national emblem is given prominence along the fuselage next to the Etihad name and the national flag is respectfully featured forward near the cockpit.

The design pattern is also a key feature of the new cabin interiors being introduced on our Airbus A380 and Boeing 787 aircraft, and is being rolled out across our corporate branding.

The old livery was starting to look a bit dated, but i'm not sure this was the way to go... a little bit bland. What does everyone else think?

psychedelic but not to my taste. I prefer the old to this
