Narrative:

During the taxi phase of flight at ord, as we were being marshalled into the spot at our ramp area, our left wingtip touched the right wingtip of the aircraft located in the spot next to us. This created minor damage to the wingtips of each aircraft. As we were taxiing wbound on the 'H' taxiway, the captain picked up the directions of the lead marshaller who was standing at the front of our spot. Following the directions of the lead marshaller we picked up the extended centerline of our spot. The captain told me to watch the marshaller and to keep an eye on the right side of the aircraft, and that he would watch the left side and the wing walker, who was located near the nose of the spot next to us, the captain advised me to let him know of any change. A few moments later the lead marshaller indicated the stop signal. I said 'stop' the captain stopped the aircraft. The lead marshaller then signalled us to continue up to the shutdown point which we did. We were taxiing slow and I did not hear or feel the collision. It wasn't until the postflt that I noticed the damage. Supplemental information from acn 301747: aircraft #1 parked, chocked and stationary, no passenger only crew. Aircraft centered properly in parking space, navigation lights on. Crew, all in cabin sitting, felt the aircraft shudder, lurch horizontally and heard a muffled scraping sound. All 3 crew looked out right side of aircraft #1 and saw aircraft #2 taxiing by to park, very close. Captain of aircraft #1 then inspected right wingtip of aircraft #1, noticed damaged to wingtip and broken bits of red and green glass on ground. Same captain of aircraft #1 then walked over to the left wingtip of aircraft #2, inspected and saw fresh looking damage. Ground crews and the flight crew of aircraft #2 then admitted to taxiing aircraft #2 into wingtip of aircraft #1.
