There's me thinking the livery was pretty self-explanatory...
The "QuayLink" brand is a successful brand name which has been used for ten years. Why change something drastically, if it's successful and is instantly recognisable? A fresh, modern approach, representing the new route variations, is exactly what the "QuayLink" brand design needed, and what it has received. The recognised yellow base livery continues, while the current colour of the 51/52 has been carried forward for the revised Q1/Q2, while the colour of Newcastle Great Park has been used for the new Q3.
I'd suggest that the circles towards the rear of the vehicles represent the circular nature of the routes - similar to how the current "Orbit" brand design represents the circular route nature of the current 51/52 services.

Go North East pays a lot of money for companies to design liveries, who have a lot of experience in the industry. I certainly don't have this experience, neither does citaro5284. Do you?
I don't think anyone has an issue with people expressing their view, but it is the way in which this is conveyed that is important.
