Croatia Airlines has a new logo, and it's generating some strong opinions. The graphic part of the new design is a bolder, more striking design than it's predecessor, and it's similar to the airline's existing tail design with its sequence of pixel-like squares inspired by the shield on the Croatian flag. 

But where the design falls apart is when it's placed on planes themselves, which is kind of an important application for the best airline logos.
