WARNING! Reading this story might lead one to spend a good chunk of their day designing their own Boeing 787 liveries. Do  not continue if you have other, more important things to do with your day. 

All joking aside, Boeing has recently released the ability for anyone to create almost any livery on a 787 Dreamliner and it works pretty slick. You have to agree not to put cuss words on your plane and that you are over 18 and then you are given a clean, white 787 Dreamliner to start your design. You are able to add symbols, text, free hand and a much more in any color your heart desires. Although there are a few things that can become frustrating, the tool is relatively easy to use. The key is to remember that you need to make the same design on both sides, otherwise your design doesn’t really work in the 360 view.

Once you are done, you can submit it to the gallery and it takes about 24 hours for Boeing to approve your design. There are already quite a few designs to look through online now. Some are pretty amazing and some are… well not so amazing.

If the custom designs are not your thing, you can still check out the 787 in the livery of many airlines on NewAirplane.com.

So do you have what it takes? Take a shot and design your own livery and when you are done, leave a link to your design in the comments.

Hey not too bad. It doesn’t look like a rainbow unicorn vomited on it :).

Now where is yours?

David

I did the Airbus Corporate Jet 787 livery, I don’t think it will get approved.

Heh.

Did you take a screen shot of it?

Yep. Colors are a little bit off, but I think it looks okay https://twitter.com/#!/kziel/status/142642584504893440/photo/1

That is awesome. I too will be interested to see if it will be approved. I mean mine, which obviously advertises my site, did.

David

It’s not looking good for my ACJ livery. Submitted it 36 hours ago and it’s not been approved yet.

Kris Ziel

Spoke few minutes too soon, just got an approval message.

REVO 787 livery

I cranked out my REVO livery in about an hour… definitely a challenge to keep the final product from looking like a cartoon, but I think this turned out sweeeet!

I”m only thirteen… I love commercial aviation but one of the only good livery designers required you to be over 18? Why??? When it comes to livery design, I basically have this Adobe Illustrator, which is hundreds. .-.

Zachary Foo
