With regards to Branding for the 8/78, I think it needs to be something more meaningful and significant, something that we as Enthusiasts and also Passengers will look at, and immediately understand the Meaning behind the Branding, Crusader is a Perfect Example to use for the above, only problem with that is, there isn't many Major Landmarks that the 8/78 pass on there Routes that I can think of other than Penshaw Monument and Durham Cricket Ground, both of which are on the 78 Route.
Would be nice to see landmarks on the 8/78 buses...i like your examples although not sure what they can add for the livery for the 8 route
Least they can get rid of the tatty branding inside the B10's
