On all printed publicity for underground and buses, the phrase 'Mayor
of London' is shown. Why is the ON at the end on LONDON always in red
whilst the rest of the text is in blue?



It's the GLA's logo.


Pretend the OP asked, "In the GLA logo, Why is the ON at the end on LONDON
always in red whilst the rest of the text is in blue?"


Yes, it's pretty daft to have the "ON" in a differnet colour to the "LOND".
It's not even consistent: the "ON" at the top of the page is in red whereas
at the foot of the page there's a logo for London Development Agency where
"ON" is in green.

Still, it gives the image consultants something to make them feel important!
