But did you see big, powerful and heavy motorcycles named "Tango"?
They call them "Harley Davidson"... :-D

Please notice that wings logo is connected rather with: "big, powerful, 
heavy, metal, hard, machine" words than with "elegance, dance, subtle, 
nice, light".

I studied in first place marketing, so I hope I have right feeling about 
these issues. But anyway I just wanted to give you feedback, as my 
feelings about new logo were similar as others expressed here.
