Wright – THE BEAUTY OF TRANSPORT – VIRTUOUS CIRCLES 2013

Description

This extensive nine-page blog post from “The Beauty of Transport,” originally published in 2013 and updated in 2020, offers a deeply researched exploration of Railtrack’s major station graphic identities by Lloyd Northover. Authored by a dedicated transport enthusiast, the document is richly illustrated with numerous high-quality photographs of signage in situ and individual logos, complete with attribution and licensing details. It serves as an invaluable resource for anyone interested in British transport history, corporate branding, and graphic design, detailing the artistic inspirations and eventual disappearance of these “clever pieces of design” from the UK railway network. Supported by external links to archival sources and design portfolios, it provides a well-informed, passionate perspective on a niche but significant aspect of modern design heritage, with ongoing reader engagement in the comments section.
