Speaking via video at Embraer’s press conference at the NBAA 2011 show yesterday in Las Vegas, the star said, “I am looking forward to flying in this marvelous aircraft, soon. China has become a very important market for executive aircraft and I am honored to be a part of Embraer’s efforts in my home country.”
Although Chan was not present at the show, his business partner was on hand to explain the vibrant red and yellow livery on the jet. Jackie Chan designed the paint scheme, which displays his logo, a dragon image and his son’s initials.
Ernest Edwards, president, Embraer Executive Jets, said, “I have spent some time with Jackie recently and five minutes in his presence are uplifting.” He added, “Jackie’s ebullient personality, spirit of relentless innovation and commitment to society echo the core values of Embraer. His worldwide prestige makes him an ideal brand ambassador.”

A different take on the logo on the plane describes it like this:
Chan will take delivery of an Embraer Legacy 650, which will be adorned with a paint scheme partially designed by Chan himself, which sports his name, initials, and several elements that evoke his Chinese connection and the image of the dragon.

And this one says:
It sports a unique paint scheme that features Chan’s name in both Chinese and English, plus a dragon-themed fuselage paint treatment.

So I guess we will just have to wait and see what it looks like.
