All of them look dull, Nexus need to get rid of red and black altogether.
Because all routes in and out of Tyne & Wear with only a few exceptions are being taken over by the Tyne & Wear Passenger Transport Executive, trading as "Nexus" under a Quality Contract Scheme, if approved with a start up date pencilled in as April 2017.
Posted here as all GNE branding on affected routes (just about all branded services) will be no more.
One single brand for all public transport, linking to Metro, Ferry & Rail with multi user ticketing will be easier to understand, especially for tourists, visitors and new/occasional users.
Similar to (but not same as) London, Berlin, Paris, Geneva etc...
