I believe their logo wasn’t approved by TfL which is why they kept their buses logoless instead of creating a new logo I heard that as well. The company could have created a new, compliant logo, but decided not to. TfL want all logo's white and a certain size, I guess that's not going to be a problem now

They looked unfinished with just a roundel and a fleet number. They had quite a smart logo from what I remember (perhaps I'd seen it on the 51 plate B7TL / ELV's) I believe their logo wasn’t approved by TfL which is why they kept their buses logoless instead of creating a new logo I am surprised they never changed it to one colour or otherwise, as it was a basic logo

Sullivan’s logo was two lines in the same size font flic.kr/p/gZmNyq

It was something the company could have done, but chose not to.

They will be OK. It's a good thing the Open Access Rail work fell into their lap from Great British Railways this weekend. From Modern Railways:- "Sullivan Rail's Class 54 DelticFlex Bi-mode 54007 is seen on Avanti Replacement work with a rake of coaches in Intalink maroon near Hemel Hempstead on Saturday afternoon."Love the new logo

Tfl seemed to have placed new timetables for the W9 on all of its stops despite being temporarily.
