the new look Sunderland Connect, photo by Dan
The new livery (and indeed base colour) has been designed by Nexus - hence the distinct lack of visible Go North East fleet names on the outside of the bus.

I much prefer the old Hybrid livery!

Think Nexus should leave the livery designs to GNE in future, that looks very bland and the text doesn't sit right at all.

I knew the design reminded me of another logo somewhere else.

Looks like the designer didn't do their homework and quickly scrawled something on the way to work!

Agree old livery far better

The most likely thing. It's one of the brands that I would have chosen to get rid of myself with not being focused on both routes held within it.

Possibly is that. Although I did hear a rumour new buses are due for the 4. Which made me wonder if the Citaros from the 4 May go on the 5/50 and the buses from there allocated elsewhere. Might be just hear say and rumours though

If there's one thing GNE does well it's branding imo, although that's probably because I have "this is the Castles Express X21 service to X" engrained in my head, I suppose that was the plan!
I think for people who don't travel by bus that often having recognisable branding is key. It's a lot easier to look out for a big green bus than to look for a relatively little sign saying 21. That is assuming they allocate the right buses!
