Ad for "No Nonsense" on bus

dmcronin

This has got to be the worst ever livery...saw pics in a trade mag today.

The same insurance co also has a series of the most irritating tv/radio ads, nails across a blackboard stuff.

You might want to fix your thread title as that bus is not a Dublin Bus vehicle.

It is owned by "Express Bus", formerly Alan Martin Coaches (AMC).

Totally agree about the livery though!

dmcronin

I would if I knew how.

Hard to tell who owns it and it looking like a cavity block!!

Buffman

Yep, not the best looking livery around, but if it has people talking about it it's doing its job.

Ha, ye, but from your own link.

This bus is ex. Dublin Bus, (Donnybrook Garage), RV 495, in service at Donnybrook until withdrawn in 2009

Not sure but perhaps just try editing your first post? Can you edit the title there?

A Mod can change a title if you request them to.

I love there adds 'cause they are just so stupid, they really rip the p!$$........

I think it looks great, and shows the theme NoNonsense have been using in their ads of late - a big grey brick

The pattern is a close up of a road.

It also looks like disruptive pattern urban camouflage, which possibly explain why I saw someone rear end on of them (I think there are a few). amongst the tree on College Green, they are actually difficult to pick out at a distance, save for the few coloured patches.

Terrible livery looks wise, but it does it's job as it makes the advert stand out very very much when it's on top of the close up of the road so it works.

I don't think it's supposed to be a close up of a road. I think it's supposed to be a concrete block, like the ones which are dropped in the TV ads, and like this concrete block on the website homepage.
But it does also look like a road surface.
I've seen this ad on a single decker Bus Eireann city bus, and I wondered if the passengers can see out though the windows.

Its at the end of the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzsbrXyYx-4 also the bus is the same shape.

I'd be more worried about emergency workers trying to see in, in the event of an accident.

Windows should never be covered like this.

It looks real dark in the interior with the windows covers though.

Here is another photo that suggests it would be ending very soon.

Nice and bright for a change; don't you think?

There were at least two others with that livery ex-Dublin Bus before the 7up skating shuttle bus service saved them from the hideousness of that livery

They were RV433/RV434..look much better now, even if out of date.
