WMTrains livery and station branding

[physics34]

Im afraid the Green livery is awful.

Im afraid the Green livery is awful.

An opinion I definitely disagree with. I like it.

Reminds me of Irish trains - sadly I haven’t been on any but I’ve seen many images of them.

OT, but promoted on the ad is The Electric Cinema. One of my favourite places in Birmingham and the oldest working cinema in the country. Highly recommended.

The Black Country Living Museum too, which is a good day out if you do what I did and get in free because of a college project and go on a sunny day!

Both look pretty vile and dated to be honest, far too fussy and no style to them at all.

The yellow just looks weird and just plonked on, it's not designed into the livery or sympathetic to the architecture of the vehicle at all.

Yellow?

 

[capital12]

Yeah yellow, you know that yellow coloured bit on the front that's in yellow!

Oh, sorry, forgot about the nose end controversy

That's ok, to be fair I'm not as bothered about it going as I thought I would on new stuff. But if it's there it would be nice for it to be designed in rather than looking like an after thought or in this case no thought at all!!

Just seen it at MKC. Probably best described as “a bit rubbish”. Like what I’ve seen of the whole thing so far

Just boarded 350373 on 1Y70. Looks better in the flesh, IMO.

Does anyone prefer this photoshopped variant of 350?

Not my image.

That looks much better!

Another user created it from a discription I gave. Inspired by the front of a class 360:

I would keep the yellow bits going up the edges (as in the LM livery) as well, or at least have it rounded slightly.

As for the orange/purple livery, keeping the yellow on the bits that were always yellow would look fine. The *stars have the to-be-yellow area pretty much designed into the fronts.

 

[XCTurbostar]

Well that’s it, if you get rid of the yellow on the front but keep the ‘hood’ over the gangway.. what’s the point in getting rid of it?

It was inspired by the class 360, that's why it's not rounded. The 360 isn't rounded and looks all the better for it imho.

Do you

Do you think they should go to West Midlands Trains seeing as they need additional rolling stock or would it be a waste because they are getting new EMU's.

Good photoshop, but IMO it makes it look too fat!

I liked the old LM livery, but one thing I particularly liked was the black and green branding on stations and timetables. I thought it looked very classy and professional.

 

[LOL The Irony]

I noticed an error in the original picture while editing it

I replaced the black mask with yellow. The problem isn't the green, it just needed a contrasing colour.

That makes me think of old SPT livery 334s!

Have to agree, it looked very classy. Especially the odd stations that had asphalted platforms with the green safety line.

 

[LOL The Irony]

I did 2 more. 1st one is with the yellow removed from the roof. 2nd one is green cab with yellow gangway.
Although I do belive something like this bottom one has been done before.

Looks much more loco like.

Are you able to adapt the top one, and put yellow under the windscreen aswell (to cover the remaining green on the front) as looks nice what you've done with these yellow windscreen surrounds and black seals.

Perhaps the top one of the two here would also look good with yellow covering the remaining green below the windscreen?

I can do when I get home.

Look forward to it.

Reminds me of the 230. No offense, but that doesn't look good IMO. Maybe if the green bit at the front side was yellow as well?
Or it could look better if the yellow bits above the numbers were grey/black
