New Deliveries / New Livery & Branding Discussion

Is that a brownish orange colour alongside the blue?

Hideous.

I don't like all the vinyl they put on the front of branded Eclipse 2s. Tacky and garish, polar opposite to an unbranded Crimson vehicle.

Yes that's what I'm on about @Mike K I think the blue is as well, does not sit on the red at all.

I agree with the front vinyl. I don't get why they don't just fully cover the sides of the destination display, same goes for the E200MMC.

I think if the branding was applied to a crimson livery, it would work okay, except for the brown.

Watch for lots more new branding in Wolverhampton

The current 6 branding still looks great IMO.

New 1, 5 and 10 branding would be good. Any chance of a 3 or 4 branded?

I have to question the use of the brown alongside the blue but I can't be the only who actually likes it ? These branded B7RLE's look good in my opinion, the X96 B7RLE's @ PN look quite good, I prefer them to the newer style as the branding is comparatively less.

The newer style branding just looks like a big route number on the side and thats it, why not just use the advert space if not already used to further promote the route ?

Read all the comments before seeing the pic. It's not THAT bad. Rather that than the green branding era we went through (shudder)

Looking at a clearer image the 'brown' bit doesn't actually look brown, looks more gold.

My sentiments exactly. I still remember when 4226 went around with that empty green branding

Do we have a date for when the new buses will be in service at Wolverhampton

Personally I can see it being the bank holiday this month they launch it. Have thought this for quite a while.

Quite like that branding actually - stands out and good chance for a tidy of some of the Eclipses. The location of the name and the application of the badge looks better than the previous white on red set up.

No, just says 'in just a few days time' in the company brief.

1512 is now in the new training livery with the branding applied (credit to @Tony for the information from his photo).

after seeing the influx of new branding in wn this last week or so, I cant believe they did this without at least tidying the vehicles up. I saw a 10 branded b7rle that's in dire need of some panel straightening and they have stuck the Wolverhampton logo over it. theres one which has had a new brilliant white panel on the no.2 new name sticker goes through it. this was ideal opportunity to bring crimson in route by route a wn. even so, I think the branding is imposing, but shows things up for the wrong reasons.
