Cunard have announced a new livery for Queen Anne - it is a refined version of their iconic Cunard colours of black hull and white superstructure, and it comes with a change to the classic Cunard logo!
But, it is NOT the most dramatic change Cunard has made over the years.
Have you ever wondered where the historic Cunard brand colour and livery came from? We explore the history of the Cunard brand, from the accidental creation of "Cunard Red" to Cunard's decision to paint an entire ship GREEN!
Cunard's Queen Anne might have a refined livery, but it's not as dramatic as QE2's 1969 debut when the Cunard red funnel was replaced with a white one, or Cunard's 1994 decision to paint QE2 blue!
