Comment on Great British Railways flies the flag as logo goes back to the future

  The geometric design thing can sometimes look quite generic, like not quite original enough to really stand out and also not quite the classic look of a solid colour. But then I think this one looks decent enough.

  Of course I’m not a designer or anything and I’m thinking purely about how it will look on a Hornby train set.

    It’s been the logo forever. Even when the trains were nationalised it was still the symbol for a train station, it’s become somewhat of an international symbol for a train even in countries without context.

    Because there’s only one thing better than a good design (not that I’m saying it isn’t a good design) and that is a standard.

    For better or worse that’s the iconography that means trains. There’s no point in trying to change that.

      Ah sorry I was talking about the train livery. You’re right, I don’t think the logo will be unpopular
