In recent months, South West Trains have changed a lot of signage on

of them). Noticed new signs (so far) at Queenstown Road, Vauxhall,
Earlsfield, Raynes Park, New Malden, Norbiton, Twickenham, Surbiton
and Feltham. But I have yet to check out the Hounslow loop, Hampton/
Fulwell, Thames Ditton and the Chessington and Ewell West branches in
recent months though.

They are rolling out the new white-on-blue style across their whole
network, not just in the zones. Aldershot has them as well (without Fare
zone label obviously).

White on navy blue is supposedly going to be being rolled out nationally,
not just on SWT. It was one of the decisions following the stations report
prepared for the last Transport Secretary, the idea being that signage will
no longer be changed with franchise renewals.

Interesting, but it seems that all stations from West Croydon to New
Cross Gate (bar Forest Hill at time of writing) now have black on
orange signage for London Overground services (full timetable
commencing next Sunday). Crystal Palace too, but apparently dark blue
(black?) on white with orange stripe at top.

Here's an example:
