Japanese railway operator logo collection
Looking at the "Metro Meme" thread (seems dead now) on SkyscraperPage forum, I thought it may be cool to collect logo symbols of Japanese railway operators. (So we have another imitate-Europeans page here!)
Notes:
- This collection is far from, and not meant to be, complete. Now the
collection is almost complete!
- Only currently operating companies are listed here.
- Some operators have more than one logo/symbol. I listed just one for each.
- I do not guarantee any accuracy of the data. Some are my tentative drawings.
