Does anyone else think the temporary wording for the X3 to Lichfield could have been better?

Good photo opportunity missed as 2 Omnicities were on Priory Queensway on the 65 & 67. Never seen two together before!

Straight forward and to the point, what's the issue?

Looks a bit clumsy to me - but straight to the point, nonetheless. As it's only temporary, I'm not too fussed. I wonder whether the route map on the offside will be amended slightly?

Some Walsall Platinums have been done for the X51 to Cannock, as well

Can't say I've noticed it. If it's anything like the X51 wording, it looks inconsistent and rushed

It covers half of the top window yes but looks ok to me saw a few X4 & X14's today going to Good Hope, First time I have seen what the wording looks like. A better font may have looked better but all the same is doesn't look rushed at all

And it is very noticable which is the main aim of this type of notice

I agree totally even from my car it stood out so was doing its job well @Tony

I don't really see the issue with it to be honest. It's big enough to see which is the whole idea.

I don't have an issue with it at all, but as a designer, I was expecting it to be consistent with the rest of the X51 branding

That's probably why they went for something that isn't consistent and doesn't blend in with the rest of the branding.

This way it stands out and is noticeable.

I'm not a huge fan of it still, as a graphic design student, since it does look a bit out of place, but yeah it does at least stand out, and it's only temporary too.
