The Railfreight Design Guide (British Railways Board, 1988), created by design studio Roundel, outlines a bold corporate identity programme for British Rail’s freight operations. It features a strong, unified visual system inspired by military aircraft markings — using simple geometric shapes, high-contrast colours, and three-tone grey liveries with yellow ends. Sector-specific symbols for Coal, Construction, Metals, Petroleum and Distribution ensure instant recognition across locomotives, wagons and communications, projecting strength, professionalism and renewed commercial ambition.
