I know this is old news by now and anonymous touched on it already but the "T" logo doesn't signify the transit service - it marks an entrance to the "transit concourse" that runs under a large part of Center City.

Bethany D - well, it is a Center City District project. They'd have no business spending their group's money in other parts of town.

Im surprised no one has said how it kinda looks like the logo from Tbar.

Not defending the design because I don't like them either, but they aren't SEPTA logos for a reason. They direct riders to transit stops, regardless of whether that stop is served by the MFL, BSL, PATCO, Regional Rail or AMTRAK. They purposely selected a logo that didn't look like any of those.

I have a feeling that although a graphic designer did ultimately design this, it smacks of some higher up genius pulling ideas out of his posterior. He probably wanted to emphasize that they're a green company and that the logo has to be green. Nevermind the designer's insistence that the color system in place will be weakened and people will be confused. Green is the new buzz word so the logo is green. So on and so on.

Still, the signs are a half-assed break from their old signage and the result is one huge fail.

Wow. When I saw this post, I immediately realized that I had seen this logo recently. However, I didn't realize what it was when I saw it, nor did I give enough of a flying fuck to wonder why they were there. That make sense?

That logo makes me want to vomit on my own dick.

If it's supposed to be universal, so everyone can find the train, then it should be an icon.

If it's supposed to be an identifier to promote SEPTA then it should be the classic shitty logo.
