Riveted to the sides of the units were metal plaques bearing a large "Indian Head" logo, which owed its origin to the 1926 "Chief" "drumhead" logo. ""Super Chief"" was emblazoned on a plaque located on the front. The rooftop was light slate gray, rimmed by a red pinstripe. This unique combination of colors was called the "Golden Olive" paint scheme. Before entering service, Sterling McDonald's General Motors Styling Department augmented the look with the addition of red and blue striping along both the sides and ends of the units in order to enhance their appearance.
