Side view of a twin engined jet airliner on a black runway, moving slowly from right to left, slight puffs of steam rising from the runway behind it suggesting it is accelerating for take-off. The plane is mostly white, with thin gold and red pinstripes running along the body, and large gold "Etihad" titles on the upper fuselage, over the wings, in English, with smaller titles in an Arabic script a bit further forward. Additional golden text "From Abu Dhabi To The World" just above the gold and red strip on the forward fuselage. The tail has a golden bird with wings partially extended, and a circular version of the flag of the United Arab Emirates on the chest, in the middle. There is a large text area on the upper rear fuselage advertising the Abu Dhabi Formula Grand Prix on the upper rear fuselage, with the web address "wwwDotEtihadAirwaysDotCom" in gold on the lower rear, and the black registration "A6-ETJ" under the tail. Green grass fills the foreground, with a large terminal building in the background on the right, and a grey hangar in the background on the left. Rolling blue-grey cloud fills the top of the frame, with light blue patches of clear sky in places. Gorgeous golden light washes across the frame from the lower right, especially on the plane's body.

Side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner taxiing from right to left, along a grey taxiway. The plane has red "Jet2DotCom" titles on the upper forward fuselage, and the black registration "CS-WFP" just aft of a small Portugese flag on the lower rear. The tail is a deep blue, with a stylised number "2" made up of red, mint green, and light blue sections. The engine pods mounted under the wings are the same deep blue as the tail, with the up-turned wing-tips are the same mint green as in the number on the tail. A strip of green grass stretches across the foreground, with a grey cargo building stretching across the background with a grey and red jet airliner parked in front on the right. A couple of grey buildings with hotel logos on top are visible over the top off that building, with trees beyond them, under hazy grey skies.
