Gerry Barney says updated branding, to be used by Great British Railways, uses too many colours. The designer of the familiar British Rail logo has warned against government plans to revamp the symbol and dismissed an attempt to give it a green makeover as a 'load of old b******s'. The transport secretary, Grant Shapps, has said his plans for the new Great British Railways will involve 'updated versions of the classic 'double-arrow' logo' when the system is launched next year.
