They do look slightly out of proportion, is that what you mean?
The -SPs fuselage is about 45 feet shorter than the -100 but the tail is actually slightly taller (I think) too assist with fuel efficiency and extra range(hence Special Performance), so it appears to look even strager.

The vertical tail is taller. To allow for more command due to the shorter fuselage.

That's stunning Sandy!

The tail is taller, the reason being to assist in stability given the shorter fuselage, and not necessarily to assist in fuel efficiency/range.

You know what? Even if I still prefer UA's old livery , I kinda like the new one better and better.
Cheers for that Sandy.

The new one is beautiful, and I was a big fan of the old one.
