I always like that livery 
Check out this guys ideas..although the second down contains the white cockpit area that was purely a Viscount thing

Reminds me a lot of the Mexicana Golden Inca scheme (basically an "inverted Inca" in many ways) -

Nice to see this break cover and it's the right choice for a retro scheme. However, I think they've got the titles far too small and the shamrock is a bit weak.
Looking forward to seeing it though.

Agree about the titles 
...that struck me too
At least that was a livery that sported a grey bottom in reality.
One of the better ones.
I also liked the livery that followed it, the one Eddie mentions but perhaps it's a bit too close to the current one for full effect.
Seems most European Airlines now have a retro or plan to have one.
A small note in that this is definitely EI-DVM. It was listed as to be applied on EI-DEL as I guess that was a logical conclusion being that EI-DVK had just been delivered and the next one was to be a retro jet
However for some reason EI-DVL follows the, middle of next month, so either that's how it was intended or there was a switch..just in case anyone comes across a reference to EI-DVL being the retro.

Another picture has appeared:

I think it looks a lot better in this view: they've gone for a 737-style nose treatment which appears to work very well. It's hard to flatter the blunt nose of the A320 but this does quite a nice job.

I like that livery on the A320 although I wonder at the wisdom of doing retro paints other than to please old farts like us

They're OK like this where the livery was designed for later types and had a grey bottom
The ones that were on prop liners and used natural metal are awful on the modern jets and pleases me not
...the Air France, Finnair, Iberia and Lufthansa spring to mind.
It is a terrible waste of money though and I would much prefer it was not done and it spoils the true history.
This one is let down by the small titles
