United Kingdom
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

The geometric design thing can sometimes look quite generic, like not quite original enough to really stand out and also not quite the classic look of a solid colour. But then I think this one looks decent enough.
Of course I'm not a designer or anything and I'm thinking purely about how it will look on a Hornby train set.
It's been the logo forever. Even when the trains were nationalised it was still the symbol for a train station, it's become somewhat of an international symbol for a train even in countries without context.
Because there's only one thing better than a good design (not that I'm saying it isn't a good design) and that is a standard.
For better or worse that's the iconography that means trains. There's no point in trying to change that.
Ah sorry I was talking about the train livery. You're right, I don't think the logo will be unpopular
