It's quite a dull/matt gold in the imagery, where as previous and famous black and Gold liveries have been much more of a "metallic" gold. Untill seen in natural light how effective it's going to be remains to be seen.

Looks good to me, but I guess snappers will be muttering about black cars being difficult to photograph!

The physical car yes was last years, but the other digital imagery is a representation of the new car,

Don't worry, the livery will change when Rich Energy settle out of court for stealing colours from JPS and the logo from Whytes. https://whyte.bike/

And it's no joke that the logo issue is going to court...

ATB is the owner of Whyte.
But... there are posts elsewhere that give evidence the while Whyte as a brand/company is older than Rich Energy, the Rich Energy logo was trademarked two years before the Whyte version. But Whyte may have been using it (without the trademark being filed) prior to Rich Energy filing their trademark. So it's not clear who copied who. I am just reposting what I have read elsewhere. Guess the courts will decide.
Regardless, Rich Energy is the gift that keeps giving. Its like its some sort of hustle that we just haven't figure out yet.

When your company CEO or boss or big cheese keeps having to make statements that say "Look, we're legit, honest", it's a good sign they're not legit.
It's like any country that has "The Democratic Republic of" in front of the country. Generally, that type of country isn't very democratic.

sounds about right for this bloke. start a business in a crowded sector, steal a logo off an existing unrelated company, crack on...
isn’t it an age-old hustle?

Just to provide some clarity to this.
It is Rich Energy who have raised an objection to Whyte using their logo.
The objection is just in a single realm though - Clothing and apparel - so if Whyte are permitted to use the logo in that field, Rich Energy are faced with the choice of changing their logo, not using it on clothing, or accept that another firm has a (very) similar logo.
