I'm sure it's far from unique, but saw my first triple-branded Smiths store last week in Taunton now they're making a big deal of their Toys R Us concession, and this store with a Barclays-branded cash machine to boot too. Doesn't look cluttered at all!

Do you regularly shop at Smiths? What is your favourite service that Smiths provide? Which Services do they not provide now which you think they should add?

On the one hand, the First logo has been pretty unchanged for nearly 30 years, and maybe it's time for a change.

On the other...

It's like they saw the Arriva logo, and wanted to make their own version in that modern style. Ugh. Those colours are awful

Starting to think companies are abusing the "purple-pink" colour scheme a little bit too much (i.e: ITV2)

Since these days so many (most?) First Buses carry route-specific liveries anyway, not really sure how much impact a new corporate brand will have now vs if it was done 10 years ago. Also seen nothing about a wider rebranding of FirstGroup as a whole. Are they going to use two logos at once?

They're apparently going back to a corporate livery across all the fleets of purple and grey.

Something in the water...


All I can think is "hello there, fellow kids". (For reference Nottingham BS has zero online banking of any sort, not even to view balances, and only supports account opening in branch and withdrawals in cash, cheque or for a fee CHAPS)

This one? The grey is a bit 'dirty white'.

It kind of fits with the fairly new design of their electric buses in Leeds:

Boohoo Group has rebranded as Debenhams Group


Pretty unspectacular monogram logo that has no bearing to the Debenhams logo whatsoever. Probably knocked up in all of 5 mins?
