Ref: Livery on rockets?
It seems unlikely that this tag will be very useful. Are there roughly similar ones already?

Although I would not expect a huge number of questions, there is potential for maybe 6-12 questions, especially in the era of private spaceflight.
Some existing tags overlap the idea, but they are often not a good fit for the question.
So I would suggest allowing the livery tag to stay.

Do we need a 'livery' tag?
I don't know.
It seems unlikely that this tag will be very useful.
I'll list some questions where it might or might not apply. There may be a few more out there. I think there might be one more on identifying specific Saturn I or V launches based on some differences in markings, but I may be mis-remembering.
Are there roughly similar ones already?
- I found a few but not all using the space-art tag.
- We don't have a "markings" or "symbol" or "logo" tag
- Per comments we do already have insignia, color and design with which some items below might better be tagged instead.
Note, I don't know how many of these describe markings that would count as "livery".
- Why are Soyuz rockets painted with different colors? "Progress rockets I saw have different "liveries", multicolored like this"
- What is the purpose of the black-and-white patterns on some rockets?
- Did the Saturn V rocket have any purely aesthetic features that didn't serve an actual function?
- Was there a rocket launched to space with Japanese manga characters painted on it?
- What do these markings on SpaceX's ship Mr. Steven represent? (it's a
boatship, not a spacecraft) - What organizations correspond to the logos on this ORBITEC Vortex engine rocket?
- Humanoid silhouette on SpaceX's Starhopper; what does it represent?
- Why does Curiosity have two images of itself on itself, or is one a QR-code?
- Saturn V Small Rectangles On S-II Stage
- Did Wernher von Braun really have the "Saturn V painted as the V2"?
- Livery on rockets? (also mentioned in the question)

2$\begingroup$ We do have an insignia tag, but that doesn't really extend to the entire concept of livery. The color tag has been used for questions about exterior and interior coloration of rockets before. The more general design tag has been applied to such questions before. $\endgroup$– called2voyage ModCommented May 3, 2021 at 12:17

$\begingroup$ @called2voyage Ah those should be included in the discussion so I'll add them above, thanks! with my artfully mealy-mouthed wording “I don't know”, “might or might not”, “may be”, “might be” , “may be” and again, “I don't know” I'm not sure there is much here to agree or disagree with :-) $\endgroup$– uhohCommented May 4, 2021 at 7:36
