Bus Graphics/Brands Ideas
Just thought i'd start this thread to allow people to post their branding, and other graphical ideas/designs. (If there is already a thread on this, just delete this one).
I want to a livery based on Northern Spirit and was wondering if anyone had done train liveries on buses before?

I want to put the Stagecoach South West Falcon Livery on a Gemini, E400, Streelite & Solo. What is the best way of doing this?

To add to my post in the Branding topic, here are my designs for the new brands.
All brand logos will follow a common design
All buses in each 'local' area will have the same overall brand allowing them to be used on any route, although I would still have subtle route branding in the form of destinations on the side. For example, below would be a Gateshead Local bus that would be primarily allocated to the 49/49A
Then we have the connector brand, this would be used on longer distance routes that cover multiple 'local' areas. This would replace the likes of Coaster, Crusader, Connections 4, Country Ranger, Red Kite Ranger, Tyne Valley Ten etc. But it would also be used on currently unbranded routes such as the 6 and 28.
Finally, we would have the three CityLink services, these would replace the Prince Bishops, Angel, and CityRider. As the name suggests, these services link the three cities in the North East. It's questionable whether replacing these would actually make any difference to the simplicity of the branding, but it provides a common brand for similar routes.
X-lines would remain, but all vehicles would be the same (either blue or charcoal, I can't decide) allowing them to be used on any route.

CityLink 21 | X21
CityLink 20 | X20
CityLink 56 |
They've all got express versions except for the 56 so if there was an express added you could also advertise faster links.
Also what about the X1/Washington Service?

(05 Oct 2022, 5:38 pm)cbma06 Only problem with this idea is that all buses branded as above then you going to have the same situation that GNE have got themselves into with branded buses all over the place, read somewhere that the x6 would be branded as connector (by connecting Peterlee and Sunderland) only problem is that the allocation on the x6 does Peterlee locals allocated bus services.

(05 Oct 2022, 6:03 pm)streetdeckfan But the number of brands would be greatly reduced, with each depot only having the 'local', Connector, and X-Lines vehicles.
Would there be a depot that has more than one 'local' brand? I'm not sure what routes are at what depots these days!

(05 Oct 2022, 6:21 pm)cbma06 Would be more greater reduced if there just get rid 98% of the brands and use more corporate colours , so there Identity stands out
It’s good to bounce ideas and suggestions , maybe GNE would take notice of the crap that there have caused and think and think again of buying paint with weird colours

(05 Oct 2022, 6:28 pm)streetdeckfan But it's boring and ugly tho. IMO, red is quite possibly the ugliest colour to have on a bus, closely followed by all black or white.
Personally, I don't think it's important that GNE's identity 'stands out'. It's not as if passengers have a choice in the operator they use!

Red is standard text book bus colour!
With the way things are now, all corporate would be best. Blinds are so much more detailed than they used to be
