 British Airways introduced unusual tailfin designs in 1997. These "airline liveries and logos" were intended to make the airline's branding more cosmopolitan and were described as "arty" and "ethnic". They were unpopular with many customers and also caused confusion for ground controllers who had more difficulty recognising the British Airways ethnic liveries aircraft to give clear taxiing instructions. Despite the £60 million expense of this livery, it was replaced completely in 2001 and the airline has now returned to a more traditional design based upon the Union flag. Brussels Airlines' first logo was a stylised letter B composed of 13 dots resembling a runway. This was thought to be unlucky, and protests by superstitious passengers caused the airline to add another dot. Later in 2021, they changed the airline logo and livery, which consisted of dots in various sizes in the logo and colors in the livery. All Nippon Airways (later Solaseed Air, Air Do, Skymark, Scoot, China Airlines and T'way Air) have revealed jets with Pokémon liveries, which they referred collectively as Pokémon Jet. All Nippon Airways also releasing special liveries for specific brands and jets such as "Flying Honu" on entire Airbus A380 fleet, Star Wars and Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba on selected Boeing jets. The tradition also occur on ANA's low cost subsidiary - Peach Aviation with their jets have some brands put in the bottom row at both side of the plane, such as Soaring Sky! Pretty Cure or Japanese band Back Number. Japan Airlines' low cost long haul subsidiary Zipair Tokyo changed the livery with geometric design on the vertical stabilizer instead of the letter "Z" on the name, while the line on windows and the "Zipair" name still kept. The reason for the change is to avoid misunderstandings, as the letter has been used as a military symbol by the Russian Armed Forces during Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Vietnam Airlines' low cost subsidiary Pacific Airlines introduced a new logo after the split from the Jetstar brand, which consisted of 3 tailfins stacked each other in a asymmetric hexagon shape. The livery featured a portion of the logo on the tail section. References
