New Deliveries / New Livery & Branding Discussion

[Tony]

So what constitutes a 'neutral' colour? Surely depressing 'grey' isn't the only colour that complies with that rule. Lime green for a start.

It's amazing how colours get people triggered. I put a photo of 6148 on Facebook and every says those colours are nice. Stagecoach paint 3 buses in exactly the same blue and it is a horrible colour according to all the comments on Facebook.

There is no way in a million years you can compare those 2 liveries

I'm not, just stating how the same blue is even getting opposite comments, but looks like someone else has triggered

applications matter, its not just the navy that makes 6148 beautiful, its how well it compliments the cream, how well and fitting the placement and application of the colour is, how it creates rapport with the entirety of the rest of 6148 and ties it all together

stagecoach didn't do anything with the colour, all they did was paint bucket tool the entire bus and slap a couple logos on it, not a lot of care and effort (the care and effort you said took 4x the time it takes to paint another bus in the standard livery) was put into making those buses look nicer

so effin disappointing to see people with absolutely 0 decorum and respect for the public vehicles they travel in, brand spanking not even 3 month in-service-old buses with this all over the seats (E229)

To be expected on public transport what's new, graffiti on buses been around for decades

Other than the rear route number position / lack of rear destination display, externally this batch are the same as the Platinums. Sadly, it looks far worse than it did a few weeks ago.

Is the Platinum brand being phased out? I noticed the picture of recently debranded 6998 is missing the 'Platinum' part of the logo.

As all deliveries are same spec as Platinum, then the Platinum name no longer has any relevance

As the Platinum logo was colour-coded for the 16, it will have been removed with the rest of the branding.
