(17 Nov 2016, 7:06 pm)mb134 It seems a bit pointless though, does it not? At some point, you'd think in the foreseeable future, that bus will have to get the old logo removed and the new one applied, where it could have just had the new logo applied on repainting.

(17 Nov 2016, 7:11 pm)Dan As with most things - although it mightn't be clear to enthusiasts looking in, there will be a reason for it.
A re-brand of the corporate identity (livery, logo, etc) will take a long time, for a company the size of Go North East, given the amount of different things the old logo was used on. The transition won't be an overnight job - and it's not as simple as a 'purge' of everything with the old logo on it.
Who, other than bus enthusiasts, is going to know that the old logo has been used on recent repaints? Would a customer know? I doubt it! Yes, in time, all old logos will be replaced with the new logo, but again, that sort of project takes a long time to plan and implement.

(17 Nov 2016, 7:18 pm)South Tyne Lad Would it not be logical to place the remaining old logos on repaints of corporate vehicles or " Back Seat " role vehicles which get less runs out than the main branded allocation?
The New Logos could then be placed on higher priority repaints/ Branded Vehicles which are out longer hours and as a result are seen more by the public?

(17 Nov 2016, 7:37 pm)Adrian Why spend money on paying someone to design a new logo, if it's suggested that no one other than bus enthusiasts will notice it missing? It's supposed to be one of the things that makes a company memorable.
Appreciate that things do not happen over night in terms of purging the old logo, but surely the continued application of it begs another question!
The decision may have been made, but it doesn't mean it can't be a bad one.

(17 Nov 2016, 7:46 pm)streetlite5402 Agreed, much like Northern, Go Gateshead etc and their taglines/mottos are remembered.
Cadbury's wouldn't use three variations of their logo at once.

(17 Nov 2016, 7:52 pm)Dan Must just be bus companies that think it's acceptable, then!
There's more than just Go North East using different variations of a logo at the moment...

(18 Nov 2016, 1:28 pm)Dan That's not true. 698 and 700 should enter service on Monday.
699 has been taken from Saltmeadows Road to Deptford today, with 698 being used to transport the engineers from Deptford to Saltmeadows Road.
