Editor’s Note: AirlineGeeks is proud to present our ‘Livery of the Week’ series. Every Friday, a team member will share an airline livery, which can be from the past, present, or even a special scheme. Some airline liveries are works of art. The complexity associated with painting around critical flight components and the added weight requires outside-the-box thinking from designers. The average airliner can cost upwards of $200,000 to repaint, creating a separate aircraft repainting industry as a result.
Have an idea for a livery that we should highlight? Drop us a line.
EVA Air’s standard livery is built around a deep evergreen green that has become synonymous with the Taiwanese carrier since its founding in 1989. The bold color dominates the vertical stabilizer and sweeps forward in a curved band along the rear fuselage, creating a distinctive look that is instantly identifiable on ramps around the world.
At the center of the tail sits EVA Air’s stylized globe logo, rendered in lighter green and gold tones. The emblem represents the airline’s international reach and its affiliation with the Evergreen Group, which also operates one of the world’s largest shipping companies. The circular motif has remained a consistent element of the brand even as the airline has modernized its fleet and cabin products over time.
The fuselage is primarily white, allowing the dark green accent to stand out without overwhelming the aircraft’s overall appearance. “EVA AIR” titles are placed in matching green along the forward fuselage, paired with smaller Chinese characters that reflect the carrier’s Taiwanese roots. Gold trim appears subtly within the tail emblem, adding a premium touch without complicating the design.
Across its widebody fleet — including the Boeing 777, 787 Dreamliner, and Airbus A330 — the livery is applied with minor variations in stripe placement and proportions, but the core visual identity remains consistent. This uniformity has helped EVA Air maintain strong brand recognition as it has expanded throughout Asia, Europe, and North America.
Unlike many carriers that frequently refresh their branding, EVA Air has kept its foundational color palette largely intact for decades. The green scheme aligns with the airline’s positioning as a full-service, premium carrier and complements its reputation for high-quality onboard service.
