The Tale of 2 Liveries:The Silver Bullet Livery- Cathay Pacific Unveiled their First"Silver Bullet"
Freighter Aircraft, Which was a B747-200F
(Freighter)that Beared the Registration Ship#
B-HIH on May 17,2006 as Part of a Innovative Airline Initiative that asked staff for ideas on How to cut Spiraling Fuel costs as the Aircraft
(Just like this one)was Stripped of most of it's Paint which Resulted in Reduced Aircraft Fuel Burn and Improved Fuel-efficiency at the same time as the Polished Silver Fuselage made the B747 about 200 Kilograms(441 Pounds)Lighter and Saved the Airline About $2.8 Million HKD
($358,000USD)as a Result.

Virtually the Entire Fuselage was Stripped Bare,
With the Exception of the Tail and the Strip Along the Aircraft's Nose to Maintain the Airline's Identity.Ultimately,Only 14 Freighter Aircraft in the Cathay Pacific Fleet Underwent the Transformation, Whereas the Full Livery on the Passenger Aircraft Remained Unchanged until November 1,2015,When Cathay Pacific Unveiled their newest and Current Livery Scheme to the General Public at the Airline's Primary Hub at Hong Kong International Airport.

The Brushwing Livery-This was Cathay Pacific's Partial Livery(With the Exception of the White Paint missing from the Aircraft),Which was Called the"Brushwing"Livery that Cathay Pacific Sported from September 15,1994 to November 1,2015.It Replaced the Green and White Stripes that was the Airline's Livery Scheme from the Early 1970's until 1994.The"Brushwing"Livery was initially Launched in Toulouse,France on August 31,1994 to mark the Rollout of its First Airbus A330-300.However,On November 1,2015,Cathay Pacific Unveiled their New Livery Scheme which is a Refreshed Version of its Previous Livery Scheme(Which is This One),
Which now features a simpler Paint Scheme while Maintaining their Trademark Brushwing Logo.

The Brushwing Logo-The Brushwing Logo Consists of a Calligraphic Stroke Against a Green Background as the Stroke is Intended to Appear like a Wing of a Bird.This Logo is also Featured on the Tail.

"Asia's World City Hong Kong"Decal-This Decal is to Promote Hong Kong as Asia's World City.
The Brand Motto Best Reflect the City's Trait while a Stylized Dragon Represents Hong Kong's Visual Identity.
