Side view of a high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner taxiing from left to right along a grey taxiway. The plane is mostly white, with a dark blue belly and a golden pinstripe. There are blue and gold "Blue Islands" titles on the lower rear fuselage. The engine pods on the wings are dark blue, with white and gold "Blue Islands" titles under a stylised golden pair of wings extended in flight. A larger version of the middle of these golden wings appears on the white tail. In the foreground, the runway is elevated several metres above a large body of water, while a grey terminal building stretches across the background, with a couple of white jet airliners parked facing the camera in front. A pair of tower blocks stretch into the grey sky beyond.

Side view of a twin engined jet airliner flying from right to left at a very low altitude, with undercarriage lowered and flaps extended from the rear of the wings, suggesting it is about to land. The plane is mostly white, with a pale blue belly. There are red "Austrian" titles on the upper forward fuselage, just aft of a stylised flying red bird just above the forward cabin windows, with a grey drop shadow just below the windows. The same red and grey logo appears in a larger form on a wide white band around the red tail. The engine pods are a vey pale blue, with "Austrian.com" text in a blue almost the same shade as the belly. The vertical fences on the wing tips are also red. Flat grey sky fills the rest of the frame.
