Yes, because for ordinary Pakistanis this is not a legendary creature who has seen Armies and Civilisation etc etc etc. It is simply a Bakra!

In the first phase, new PIA corporate identity will be adopted and revealed at airline's reservation/ticketing/sales and airport offices simultaneously at all stations on April 15, 2018.

Apparently it means, the new corporate identity will also begin appearing on airline's official website www.piac.aero from April 15.

In the second phase, the airline's new corporate identity will also begin appearing on stationery, ground equipment, vehicles etc., according to the news channel.

I think this looks pretty decent, whether or not a new livery was needed is a different argument, but if a bunch of us can't agree what looks best amongst ourselves then we can rest assured no one will be satisfied until everyone gets their own livery on one each 😂. We should take a positive approach and appreciate that it's not extremely retarded looking. The one thing we all agreed on is the fact that the last livery was very ummm...questionable. I personally think this one has a brand identity unlike most government owned entities, granted it's not like the celebrated legendary Urdu logo but this is something you see in the sky or on the tarmac and immediately say yep that's ours and we can belong. We can also have a story to tell about what the animal is and why it is on the plane. The colour choice is also very nice, looks positive and fresh.

As a nation we never accept " change" easily, we will used to it any way.

I also totally welcome the change, despite the fact I dont like the livery totally. The tail is fine, the front looks out of place. They could have done a better job but again it is my personal opinion.

Nevertheless, this is surely going to catch some spotter's eyes at airports around the world.

Pakistan’s Airline Re-Brands To Save Its National Animal

BEIJING, April 14 (APP):
Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) in a bid to save “near threatened” Markhor—a mountain goat— from becoming extinct has decided to add the portrait of the animal on its fleet of aircraft.

Mashood Tajwar, the spokesperson for PIA, told China Global Television Network (CGTN) that Markhor was also a national animal of the country facing conservation challenges for a long time.

“We decided to create public awareness through our branding strategy. Airlines will work towards protecting the animal and also protect its shrinking habitat,” he said.

The portrait of the Markhor will be prominently splashed on the aircraft, including a large one on the tail and two on the engines. PIA has changed the logo and livery after nearly a decade.

“The animal represents the ethos of both the airline and the people it represents across a global diaspora of patriots,” the airlines maintained.
According to International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) red list for threatened species, an internationally recognized tool for measuring the conservation status of species, puts Markhor in the near threatened category as their number has dwindled to below 10,000.

Strikingly, all the five subspecies of the animal Kashmir Markhor, Astor Markhor, Bukharan Markhor, Sulaiman Markhor, Kabul Markhor are facing a survival challenge. A detailed study on the past and present distribution of Kashmir Markhor shows that animal’s occupancy area has declined by more than 70 percent.

Markhors reside in Afghanistan, India, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan, but large-scale poaching for medicine and hunting decimated their population in the last 20 years. Pakistan is home to straight-horned and flared horned Markhors which are a favorite among wildlife aficionados.

Alarmed over the declining population of Markhors, wildlife groups started mobilizing community-based sustainable practices to stop poaching and hunting. Local hunters were motivated to join the conservation efforts to contain the tradition of trophy hunting.

In 1997, 10th Convention on the International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Flora and Fauna-Conference of Parties (CITES-COP10) fixed the national export quota of six Markhors from Pakistan’s community-based hunting management areas.

The annual quota was increased to twelve in 2002, in a bid to encourage community-based conservation.

“We are confident that our awareness drive and possible funding to protect our national animal will inspire more businesses to take up an environmental cause,” Tajwar added.

So, PIA made correction after criticism on previous video. B777 appeared in this video, out of A380.

Different style aircraft elements... muddled iconography... basement 3D studio max...

Seriously please, what's the agency behind this rubbish? I genuinely suspect "beta will do it" hanky panky has gone into this rebrand. This absolutely reeks of impropriety.

Pakistan People's Party (PPP) Senator Mian Raza Rabbani has questioned removal of Pakistan flag from PIA aircraft tail. Thirty thousand US dollars spent per aircraft by the government for livery change, he said.

The Markhor tail design is replacing Pakistan flag tail design introduced in April 2010 during PPP government.

It means PIA website being re-designed, as of new color scheme. Blue-lightGreen colors will takeover PIA legacy green-golden colors.
