Tyne Valley Ten actually focuses on the route somewhat in design as well as in the name. It's the better brand imo.
I agree that the name is probably better, but the design... It's absolutely awful.
When I say it looks like it was designed by a 5 year old, I'm probably being a bit generous. There's far too much going on in the bottom half, the bunting looks out of place at the top, the banners look like an afterthought because they needed somewhere to put the text (and even then, it isn't actually lined up in the centre of the banner!)
It just looks tacky. I honestly don't think I have anything positive to say about it.
It's one brand that I definitely could be improved miles by changing it to the new style.
