There are dark blue "Edelweiss" billboard-style titles on the mid-fuselage, over the wings, with much smaller, red "Switzerland" titles just forward of the wing root. The tail is red, with a stylised white flower with yellow circles in the centre, al outlined in blue. The same logo , in smaller form, is on the forward door, as well as the red wingtips.

Above it all, the sky is a pale grey.
