Striking Livery Concept Floated By Happy Design Studio

Deeply inspired by the new ACJ Two Twenty, Didier Wolff, CEO of Happy Design Studio, imagined a particularly striking livery, highlighting the natural energy and exceptional performance of this aircraft. This livery is created around four diagonal black powerful lines which firmly rest like a frame on the front curve of the ACJ's belly fairing, born from a black shape underlining the cockpit from the front. As for the colors, five shades of green and a light blue guide the eyes towards the drift. The artwork comes quite cheap, considering the cost of the canvas.
