41.Santa Got What?!
At any airport, this funny and striking aeroplane paint job will surely draw attention for its excellent mix of dark comedy and holiday happiness. Absurd and funny, the idea of a jumbo jet running across Santa Claus over Seattle highlights the painter's artistic inventiveness and boldness to challenge limits. With Santa's red coat and legendary beard realistically splattered on the nose of the aeroplane, the execution of this design is especially amazing and impossible to overlook. From the finely placed reindeer antlers poking out from the sides to the minute shading giving Santa's beard dimension, the attention to detail is astonishing. More than just decoration, this paint job tells a tale and allows onlookers to interact with the plane, therefore generating discussions and surely smiles (and maybe some gasps) for those who see it. The designer of this design really deserves praise for their creative approach to aviation aesthetics, which effectively turns a conventional commercial jet into a flying piece of holiday-oriented parody. Though it might not be to everyone's taste, there's no doubting the talent and inventiveness required in realising this unusual idea on such a big scale.
