Better....but still all white looks ok.
Can't they just project colours onto the thing with lasers or something rather than paint it? Oh, all right...perhaps a bit tricky...

Why not a thin mesh sail with the logo on as with tennis rackets?
Look, just put me in charge of everything. I'm clearly he only one with a freaking clue.

Not only tricky EG but impossible! Projected images and lasers only work when the ambient light level is low - in other words at night. I suspect that the Emirates deal was made that entailed the use of the Spinnaker as an advertising medium 24/7 - certainly once the painting has been completed, it could be enhanced by lasers and projected images which could react to low ambient light levels and switch on/off automatically. If anyone from Portsmouth City Council wants to contact me, I can tell them how it's done......

Back when they painted the tower white originally, didn't they spend a shed load of money on a special white paint that was supposed to be as slippery as a slippery thing on a slippy day to prevent dirt and anything else sticking to it, so they didn't have to paint it again ?
Just saying......
