From the establishment, Braathens SAFE's [[aircraft livery]] had a thick red and thinner white and blue [[cheatline]], with the [[Flag of Norway]] on the [[vertical stabilizer]].<ref>Tjomsland & Wilsberg (1995): 37</ref> With only slight modifications, this general design was continued to and including the 737-400 and -500 aircraft.<ref>Tjomsland & Wilsberg (1995): 99</ref> A new livery with a stylized grey wing as logo on the vertical stabilizer and a blue belly was introduced in 1998 with the delivery of the 737-700.<ref name="backintro"/> The logo was replaced with the Flag of Norway in 1999.<ref name="Dahl, Flemming 36"/><ref name="Dahl, Flemming 4"/> Only some of the early Douglas aircraft were named, and those that were started with "Norse". The Heron were given common Norwegian male names. The three last F-27 and newer aircraft were all named for [[kings of Norway]].<ref name=twlist />
