Nope. The actual background is that it was
a branding initiative by the GLA going back to
July 2000. Its a clean simple brand that works well.


... which was to promote the Overground Network (hence ON) and
applied to those services that provided a specified service frequency.


Overground Network has a different logo, in which an arrow points up between
the n's legs.



Indeed. The Mayor of LondON logo by far precedes the Overground Network
brand. The Mayor's logo has existed since the start of the Mayoralty in
2000, the Overground Network's logo dates from the beginning of the
initiative in September 2003.

It is however quite possible that the Overground Network 'ON' logo
echoes the Mayor of LondON logo on purpose.

The Overground Network's logo can be see at:
