A blue, white, and red 'MIDWESTERN' airplane with a bear and moon emblem on its tail, on a tarmac under a cloudy sky.

A proud, state-first special livery that treats the Missouri flag as the hero: bold tricolor lines, the state seal reimagined as a tail emblem, and subtle St. Louis/Gateway Arch nods that read premium from the gate and dramatic on final approach. Concept Keep the flag’s spirit intact but scale and simplify it so it works on an aircraft: three horizontal bands (red / white / blue), Midwestern’s clean wordmark integrated into the white band, and a large, elegant tail emblem that references the Missouri state seal and the “24 stars” motif. The result feels dignified, regionally rooted, and unmistakably Midwestern. Exterior — nose to tail (visual brief) • Fuselage base: Upper two-thirds in flag blue, a clean white mid-window band where MIDWESTERN sits in bold navy/white contrast, and a muted red lower panel wrapping into the belly. The white band keeps brand legibility and echoes the flag’s middle stripe. • Tail: The tail is the centerpiece — a large circular emblem inspired by the Missouri state seal, simplified into a modern crest: two stylized bear silhouettes forming a supportive frame, a crescent element, and a ring of 24 stars around the crest. Render the crest in polished silver and warm gold accents on a deep blue field so it reads well at distance. • Cheatline / separation: A thin silver (metallic) cheatline separates the white band from the blue and red panels; consider a thin gold pinstripe inside the silver as a premium highlight. • Belly & nacelles: Matte graphite See more
