Any idea who copied who? Who had it first? The Irish version dates back to 1987. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garfield Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 The arrival & departure boards at Santa Apolónia station in Lisbon featured the logo when I visited in 2015: It had been removed when I returned last summer, however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REFER was formed in 1997 ten years after IR used the set of point logo. ,Although the logos are not identical the "R" obviously is the same. They may have copied the PWD colors too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minister_for_hardship Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 I don't know about copied, it's generic looking, like all the variations of winged wheels used by numerous (usually European) transport companies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiveController Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Unless the logo was pre-existing and was carried over which seems unlikely but I don't know who preceded REFER in Portugal (I haven been there since about 1990) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
