Greyhound redesigns logo/buses

[DelayedPenalty]

I logged onto the Greyhound website today to check on some fares for guests coming from out of town for my wedding in Octboer. I was greeted by a pop up displaying Greyhound's redesigned buses.

After a little Googling I also found that this redesign was done in 2009 by communications agency Lawrence & Pierce as part of Greyhound's launch in the UK.

Anyone seen any of these on the road? All the Greyhounds I see rumbling through Ann Arbor are still the old stainless steel sided ones. The white ones don't even come through very often.

Here's the link to Greyhound's redone website.

I've actually ridden on one of these from NYC to Binghamton. The livery is very classy and the busses even have electrical outlets and wifi.

That's a fine lookin' bus right there.

[Generic]

Really nice, looks like an incredible improvement.

[Buster]

Classy looking. Great job, Greyhound.

Has a 1950s car look...which I love.

[Moseph]

That is a very nice looking bus

I recall just the other day I said I'd love to see buses with electrical outlets and wifi to make those long trips more entertaining. That's a great looking bus- hopefully Coach Canada keeps pace with Greyhound.

If you ever decide to make any trips between Baltimore or D.C. and Philadelphia, NYC, or Boston, check out BOLT Bus--they have those amentities and some damn cheap tickets. That's if you're ever in the area.

Back to Greyhound, I started seeing some of these rolling around D.C. last year. I was very impressed (but then, I'm something of a livery geek as is, as some of you know). Has a very '50s feel to it. Nice and slick like.

Yeah, this about rocks the house. Bonus points if the name and chrome detail are actually raised metal instead of flat graphics.

It's the Packard Goose of motorcoaches.

Agree that this is a fantastic update:

Though I can't find a pic, Greyhound employees on strike years ago came up with a very funny and clever take on the company logo. Their signs had the greyhound exactly as rendered on the bus except it was sitting down instead of running.

Looks like the Greyhound is being shot backwards. Just me?

[chuckymack]

Never saw it like that until you mentioned it. Even with the backtracking dog, it's a fantastic update.

[BrandMooreArt]

daaaaaaaamn thats slick. looks like a 50s Corvette

[VC//]

What? No maniacal asian dude with an insanely large knife for the logo? (too soon?).

Looks classy.

[PokealypseNow]

That's one very sexy bus.

Now, if they can manage to translate their branding & livery updates into a better passenger experience and more goodwill in the public consciousness, they'll be on their way.

[Panchito]

wow that new one looks classy

What you can't tell by this picture is that five minutes after it was taken, all of the wheels were stolen and the bus was left up on blocks. That's what you gets when you park yo bus in Camden...
