SABENA (SN/SAB - Sabena)


Sparked by another request I have created a new scheme for the now defunct SABENA. The inspiration comes from the last 4 liveries before SABENA's demise.

The Belgian flag/shield has been replaced by the 3 dots in the same colours. The EU flag is replaced with the ring of 15 yellow circles. The fuselage is a very soft pearl grey while the pinstripe creates a more corporate feel and to evoke a more European flair. The name is in silver grey (except for the S, of course) and all capitalized, since the name is actually an acronym (Societé Autonyme Belge d'Exploitation de la Navigation Arienne). I did encounter some problems when placing the logo on the starboard side of the A320 and a little tweaking was needed. The letter S has been made proportionally smaller than the others.

A320 - OO-SNI
A319 - OO-SSA
A321 - OO-SUC

The same livery as applied to the A340-300

This is one of my earliest designs. I thought it'd be fun to see it again on a newer aircraft, and use illustrator to get a better result. Amazing that the first one was done almost six years a go. The titling has been slightly miodified.
