In my personal opinion this was a sad decision, since a) I can't think of a better way to convey the message of a global airline connecting people across the globe than by featuring ethnic art from all four corners and five continents of the world it serves. b) I think it was well thought-of to rely on artists and their works to represent a destination than just applying some generic colors/motives of a place. c) Remembering how many magazines ran the design on title pages and published color prints of every single new tail motive released, it was the best, truely global free marketing BA or any other airline ever got. You occasionally still see these designs published twenty years after they're gone - articles in print and online coverage remembering the «Utopia» designs still appear every once in a while... d) And finally, some of these designs/artworks - not all, but that is to be expected, as personal taste is known to vary - were stunning.
