Canadian National Railway: History of a Design ( Not Boring!)

Coarkboard with microsoft, nintendo, Amtrak, Pepsi locos and image of train from wikipedia with writing over it saying How do you identify railroads?

Dear customers:

 

We found a video on YouTube all about the history of railroads logo design.

You gotta watch this, I promise you this is not boring!

Canadian National Railway, better known as CN, has had a long and varied history dating back to the 1850s. In those past 150+ years, the public image of the railway has changed drastically with the times. From an era of Victorian design to pioneering a minimalist and modern design in 1960, we'll take a look at the evolution of CN's logo along with the logos of railways that would eventually create Canadian National Railway.
