The Underground Logo
This (above) is the famous logo used by London
Underground. It is known as the roundel. It is their trademark
and is registered for their use only. It was derived from the logo
used by the London General Omnibus Company in the early 20th century when
the red circle was a wooden spoked wheel and the blue bar was the word
GENERAL. A book about the logo has recently been published by
Capital Transport Publishing called A Logo for London, ISBN 185414 232
1.
There is an on-line history of the roundel
