C'mon, KLM, Quantas, BIA, Lufthansa, all had fairly cool shit on their planes even in the '70s. But I was just responding to CJ's comment that it looks better than the Airlanka and SriLankan logos. Heck, bloody Mihin Air logo looks better than the Air Ceylon one!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19291338.post-42212684984564733682008-04-23T18:49:00.000+05:302008-04-23T18:49:00.000+05:30Hey David - I agree.

It would be interesting to compare it with some of the other logos of that period and see if it is still shitty in comparison. I guess that would be fair.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19291338.post-63920421751736452142008-04-23T12:37:00.000+05:302008-04-23T12:37:00.000+05:30Sorry, but that Air Ceylon logo looks utterly shit...Sorry, but that Air Ceylon logo looks utterly shit.
