In a big city like London, get lost is pretty easy, but, even if you have no clue of where you are there is always a light of salvation, the big logo of London Underground that indicates you the nearest station, your salvation.
The Tube logo is one of the most popular and easily recognizable thing in London and, probably, all over the world.
The story of this logo is quite old and long. It first appeared in 1908 and then it just kept on changing style till the roundel version we all know now. It was basically to make clear the stations' names, in order to facilities the passengers, that it has this rounded shape, with the blue stripe across the red circle.
London Underground logo, or roundel, is now one of the symbols of London, the core of Transport of London and even if it is pretty old fashioned, people will never get tired of it.
I am quite sick of this logo now.
