This third design is the result of a competition open to the public in the US, in cooperation with the DreamWorks studios. Hannah Foss' design was awarded the top prize based on its originality, creativity, humor, its reflection of Chinese culture, and its wow factor. Hannah Foos is a young designer from Alaska; her design includes popular characters like Po and Tigress, with traditional Chinese "chops" and a painted sunrise.

Note that in the end the livery was amended and simplified quite a lot and hardly ressembles the original proposal of Hannah, who was however awarded tickets and a one-week stay in China. Both sides are different and show the main cast as well as old goat Soothsayer from Kung Fu Panda 2. The livery was released as part of the airline's 24th anniversary celebrations.
