Possible new GBR Logo

[12C]

Thought best to post here as it’s just speculation at the moment, but The National newspaper is reporting a potential GBR logo has been registered with the Intellectual Property Office on January 11th.

New public rail body logo gets the Union flag treatment

Bizarrely an almost identical logo was unveiled by plain old BR in May 1980…(courtesy of double arrow website).

It’s actually not from 1980 it’s from 1965! A rejected and never used design from 1965 which looks strikingly similar!

This had already been flagged up in the existing GBR speculation thread:

Great British Railways: Livery, branding and appearance?

No. That’s just confusing. It’s an intercity train or it’s a regional train or it’s a whatever else train but it shouldn’t be area spefific. Maybe some small vinyls to indicate a route as NSE did?
