A380 Air France - Sky Team Livery

Post by Snowdragon »

Hello,
I am working on a A380 with the Sky Team Livery.
Still a lot of work: 2 engines, regestration, logo, "airfrance-klm" logo is too big
And not sure about the "SKYTEAM" font. I looked everywhere, but no Resules. :(
And the color. It looks as file good, but in the simulator.
Do you have any tips? I think. it doesnt look so good yet...

Regards,
Nicolas

My 200th post. :D

Thanks.

Okay, dont see another mistake, it is ready.
I wasnt sure about the color, so I have 2 versions. (the 2. looks a bit darker)
1.:

2.: (new)

I think the second looks better, because it looks more like:

What do you think?

BIG EDIT:

Sky Team have a nice eps file to download on their website. I got a colour reading of 0,55,123 straight from their own logo.

http://www.skyteam.com/downloads/news/g ... sColor.zip - Save as

I think both blues are too purple. I just got this reading from the sampler in CS3 (the first is my favourite)

R=39
G=76
B=131

Or you could try this shade (photo taken in different light, possiby a bit too grey, try boosting the blue channel to 120)

R=39
G=57
B=93

These should get you close as, from the looks of all the photos on Google, they seem to have a greyer edge to them rather than in-your-face purple-blue :)

Did you try the 0, 55, 123 that I got from the official website?

I just painted a little into your shot to give you an idea.

Yep, 3 looks pretty good. Have you tested it in all weathers to see how it changes?
