United Airlines just unveiled its first new look since merging with Continental Airlines nearly a decade ago

United Airlines unveiled its brand-new livery Wednesday. It's United's first new paint scheme since the company merged with Continental Airlines in 2012. "As we improve and elevate our customer experience, we are changing the way people think and feel about United, and this branding captures that new spirit," United Airlines CE Oscar Munoz said. "This modernised design, especially our iconic globe, enhances the very best of United's image and values while pointing in the direction of where we intend to go next in serving our customers." The current United livery is based on Continental's old blue and grey paint scheme, complete with a blue and gold globe on the tail. That design has been around for nearly 3 decades. <br/>
