Hi all,

Not sure if this is an appropriate place to share such concepts, or even if anyone will be interested...so feel free to delete if viewed as irrelevant!

These are a few designs that resulted from me having, to be honest, nothing better to do!

It started with me doing a slight redesign of the WM Bus stop flags, as I personally dislike the way the numbers appear on the new design, with them fairly difficult to read from a distance. The rest then followed!

I personally quite like the branding already used, but I notice it's getting a fair bit of critique in the WMTrains branding thread.

The ideas behind the running board were:
  • Colour behind the logo = brand colour of the stop's main transport mode (e.g. orange for Birmingham Snow Hill)
  • Colour 'swooshes' next to the main colour - modes that you can change for at that station (blue for metro at Snow Hill).

Obviously, logo copyright to WMCA/WMR/etc., and just used for amusement purposes...! I'm fairly certain this would constitute as fair use, but again, if I'm wrong there, please remove!

Any thoughts / suggestions / other similar designs that people have done?
