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.
A bit disingenuous aren’t you? Thats literally a flag-carrier airline that is seen all over the world, not just in Britain. And as they’re spanish now it’s a bit weird yes.
It had been privatised 14 years before this livery. Again, an airliner will be seen all over the world in a context of plurality of nationality. Not so our proud nationalist trains.
This might be unpopular, but I don’t hate it
Why would it be unpopular? The govt is nationalising the railways
It’s even got the old logo on there

Ah sorry I was talking about the train livery. You’re right, I don’t think the logo will be unpopular
Flag shagging isn’t so popular here
Oh fuck off. It’s the state’s fucking train company
And that would fly if it were american or dare I say it F**nch.
This literally flies, you have a problem with that too?

A bit obtuse aren’t you? It was the state owned airline. As was British Rail.
It’s got red white and blue on it.
