Generally, the final signage on LO is similar in style to LU, eg

I love the irony that the London Overground line, on the one ocasion it
crosses the
subsurface London Underground line, is below it.

IIRC it runs below a "tube" line too, north of Richmond

Yes, and at West Hampstead. The North London Line also used to go below the
tube (Central Line) at Stratford.

My initial reaction to the London Overground corporate brand was that
it is unneeded. The converted lines could simply have functioned
under the "Underground" identity. However, the system does serve a
distinct function. As I have said elsewhere it is very much London's
railway for Londoners. Moreover, the branding is growing in its
appeal to me.
