(20 Apr 2017, 6:21 pm)S813 FVK Indeed! As 5324 is the only bus so far in the full corporate livery (excluding the 'The 49' examples), I am willing to let the others go for now 
although 5324 doesn't have the WiFi symbol yet.
However, I appear spy the NSA symbol on 5439 and no plug socket symbol. As NSAs are not guaranteed on every service that it can be allocated to (although this number is increasing), I would personally avoid applying this symbol to the spare buses. This is the reason why I am against the applying of this symbol to 6099 although it makes sense to have done so, given that SunFM have recorded NSAs for Go North East.
Moving on, do you know why 6133 did not gain new logos? Did it happen to be VOR when Stanley depot was done meaning it was unable to be accessed or is there another reason? 5248 and 5249 still need new logos too but this is more down to transferring in after Stanley was done.
Not too sure why the power socket symbol was missed off - but some would suggest it's not a bad thing that it's been missed off, given that the sockets can't exactly be relied on, on Streetlites!
The Next Stop Announcement symbol should definitely be there - especially given that almost every service at Deptford will have Next Stop Announcements programmed shortly. I notice this symbol is missing from the new Venture timetables...
A handful of buses were off the road at the time that the branding company went into the depot to strip the old logo from buses and replace with the new logo. This didn't apply to 6133 - I think this one was missed as the logo will have to be scaled slightly larger than the standard size. The ones which were missed, including vans, are due to be caught over the next week or two. All of the new corporate liveried buses which don't have yellow taglines and feature symbols are due to receive them at the same time. Fingers crossed!
