FILE PICTURE - Sir Richard Branson lands in Edinburgh to launch Virgin Atlantic Little Red, the new UK domestic service from Virgin Atlantic, April 8 2013 - Pictured on the plane is the 'Scarlet Lady' design. Ken White, an artist who designed the iconic Virgin Atlantic 'flying lady' logo is fuming - after the company replaced it with a black woman and a gay person. See SWNS story SWBRvirgin. Disgruntled Ken White cannot understand why the pin-up image he created 35 years ago needs to be diversified to better reflect modern Britain. The 72-year-old, from Swindon, Wilts., was given the job to come up with the design while he worked as Sir Richard Branson's artist at Virgin between 1978 and 1990. He created the 'Scarlet Lady' after being asked to produce something similar to the art painted on World War Two planes and that of Peruvian pin-up artist Albero Vargas. Although the woman changed, the style and shape has endured - until the recent diversification. The airline unveiled the first of its fleet of twelve Airbus A350-1000 aircraft - which features a black woman wearing a white blouse and red shorts - in August. Mr White said: "It was a design which I thought worked and was changed to include the British flag, but then I read that they were changing it to a gay person and a black woman. "I don't understand what was wrong with it in the first place; it was an icon and people knew the airline for it. "With the diversifying of the image you wonder where it will all end. It is disappointing." Virgin announced the move in April, with the twelve new aircraft bearing the changes to be rolled out by the end of 2021.

Nikki Humphrey , senior vice-president of people at Virgin , said : ‘ The saying goes you can’t be what you can’t see and that has never been truer than the aviation industry’s glamorous image in the past.

‘ By introducing our new Flying Icons I hope it encourages people from all backgrounds to feel at home flying with us , but also working with us.’
