Looks very smart, not a bad Job NX

Smart, true.... But still blue... I reckon it's NX's way of sneaking blue back into the livery, just brand every route with a different shade

Personally the grey hagley road branded e400s were the best branded buses. Looked so smart

I don't see what the problem is, the 900 and 957 are both different shades of green so why can't the 35 and 50 be different shades of blue?

It's different but not significantly so, and therefore does not immediately differentiate one route from another, particularly from a distance. And let's face it route branding is supposed to give a route its own identity. The 900 and 957 are nothing like each other, they are at complete opposite ends of the green spectrum.

Whilst I agree this branding is easy on the eye, it's rapidly morphing into a modern day version of the generic green branding. At least this looks like it's been applied by professionals, not Stevie Wonder.

I'd like to see the branding in full before coming to assumptions. As Liberator9 said, they're different shades of blue

Looks quite good that, the front in particular.

The read white and the little additional strip of blue looks nearly like 74 branding apart from the route and telling you where it goes

I must say that this branding does look pretty smart. A big step up from the unrefurbished Tridents that graced the route before these came over from PB

That was what I was thinking, the 74 & 35 don't cross routes though so that one shouldn't cause a problem

@Matt you're right

Whilst I agree it looks good, I just cant help but say - I dont like how the '3' looks on the branding. And, by any chance - does anybody know what font they use for branding now? Just curious to know.

The 50 branded buses are plastered in 24 hour stickers, so there shouldn't be too much confusion

[Ronnoc]

The branded sticker on 4754 is coming off at the front.

[Alex]

Anyone know what is on the 84 today?

EDIT:

1909 is/was on the 84 today

The branding on the 35 service imO does look very smart and purposeful.

I wonder if someone of a mischievous nature will add a 'd' to the name on the back of 4724.

...how old are you again Mick? Hahaha I'm sure someone will clock a Harborne-dwelling male with a Sharpie adding the D to 4724
