071 would look better with a CIE roundel instead of that multicoloured N.

It has carried the roundel previously. I took this shot back in 2018, and it definitely looks so much better. 

Not quite sure what the thinking was replacing it with the current logo. Kind of contradicts the point of 071 in the retro livery.
