West midlands bus franchising

[RW]

I wonder about the basic things like livery. WMB two tone red is ok, or will they do what WMPTE did and go by the largest operator livery. Will grey live on?
What about the name? West Midlands Bus is ok. Or will they pick something stupid like Bee Network?
Bull Network? Rats the size of cats Network?

Given talk of a livery for all vehicles coming within the proposed franchise is it likely that, for example, NXWM will pause repaints of their existing vehicles except in exceptional circumstances. What would be the point as any repaints undertaken could have a short life. A cost saving maybe?
