Branding, and Liveryedit
Lucena Lines bus in the 2013 red, yellow, and white spherical livery.
Lucena Lines at its introduction used to have red, yellow and white stripes livery with Popeye as their identical logo. Like Partas that uses Roadrunner as their corporate logo and branding, their parent JAC Liner pays the rights to use Popeye as Lucena Lines' corporate logo and branding to the owner, Warner Brothers.[10][11] However, in 2010, the Popeye logo wasn't used anymore. All Lucena Lines units were updated to their red, yellow and white spherical livery until it was simplified in 2013.[12]
In 2013, Lucena Lines started using its abbreviation "LLI" in their livery, while it started using the JAC Liner logo for their livery in 2016. With the simplified name, riders often dubbed them "Lu Li".
