I'm pretty sure most people walking or driving in Newcastle on a sunny day will not notice any thing special or different about them. I'd say most of the other liveries in the fleet are much more eye catching and vibrant than these. The only part which does look the part (and is a really nice touch) is the exterior lights on the cant rail etc. - though, you'll only see them on a rainy day or at night!
I don't think it needs to scream electric bus, unless they were going for some kind of cheap pop?
I think the livery is more of a futuristic gimmick than anything else.
