The Air Canada bandit raccoon look

Air Canada unveils its new livery today. The blue toothpaste colour scheme is gone, of which I'm glad. The historic "maple leaf rondelle" (maple leaf inside a stylised circle) is back. And the rondelle is now back on a very dark background, which I also like.

 

But I find the black "AIR CANADA" lettering horrendous, and the black "bandit" wrap around the cockpit windows strange, and evokes the image of raccoons. The below-cabin-window maple leaf rondelle is also a mystery. Cathay Pacific and a few airlines tried that, and discovered that it was ineffective and unpopular for passengers.

 

All a big waste of money if you ask me.
