 The same lettering was uniquely angled up the vertical tail surfaces that followed the pewter and blue up the rear portion of the rudder surface.While the color scheme was attractive, it was a dramatic departure from the beautiful and bold solid colors of Alexander Girard and Harper and George and tended to make the new Braniff blend in with the rest of the red,-white-and-blue standard industry look.Braniff would retain this scheme until the late 1980s, when a variety of modifications would be seen, including the placement of the Perlman design on a bare fuselage.
