International railway naming poll

[Tyson Rayles]

Good to know you are on top of things Don!

It looks like Greenwich & Meridian has the most votes. We will submit the results of the poll to the very bored (and sometimes very boring too) of Directors for their consideration.

Thank you all for your votes, this wasn't a contest, but could be the start of our global railway system here at Big Blue.

Now the G& M needs a logo...

[Mr Fixit]

How about a stylized globe tilted on its axis like the Earth with Longitude and Latitude lines inscribed on it.

Now the G& M needs a logo...

Sure, but it might be sometime complicated to get a set of decals with the logo. I would like to suggest we agree an the simple "G&M" in a wide available font, color and size. The font should be "useful" from 1910 - 2010. That makes some very modern computer fonts not a good choice. May be we can agree on a specific parts number from Microscale. They do ship fast and friendly all over the world. That would virtually enable everybody to decorate a G&M car or engine.
However, an optional logo would be great!

Hang tight my friends, we have something in the planning stages that might give everyone a shot at this.

"something in the planning stages" --- Well, we did devise, and distribute the BB&G logo,and reporting marks, so that decals could be made for the tour cars. Even a hand painted logo ( or complete decal set ) could be photographed, or scanned to digital, for use by all interested parties.
The decal process isn't all that difficult, with ink jet printer friendly decal paper.
The hardest part of making the decals for the "Cask and Anchor", was the design of the logo itself.

I would have thought the hardest part was the research required. I'd say that the "Cask and Anchor" was an English pub down by the docks and it took a long time sitting there to get that design just right..

Actually, the Cask and Anchor Inn, was a fictional establishment, run by miss Purity Pinker, in the Television series "Long John Silver". The design went well, the Font for the name? that was a completely different "task", that required each word to be copied, imported into the design program, positioned where I wanted each one to be, exported to Photopaint, and converted into a jpeg image that could then be printed on decal paper.
Yeah, I'm sure there are programs that would have made that easier, but I have what I have.
