Default New signs on London Overground

Can users help track the spread of the London Overground brand across
the various parts of "London's new train set"? I understand that
initial plans are just to cover the existing National Rail linier
"banner" signs with stickers, then move to full Underground-style
square signs in time as stations are refurbished. In additon any
sighting of new LUL signage on the parts of the Bakerloo and District
Lines taken over yesterday would be welcome. I've had an unconfirmed
report that orange-ringed signs have gone up at Kenton, yet of course
these should be red-ringed as this stations now comes under LU, not LO.


If anyone wants to read it first hand then this post on "The Transport
Forum" is a report of a talk given by TfL's Group Design Manager Innes
Ferguson on the subject of the upcoming London Overground branding
exercise, which was given on Monday 24 September at the LT Museum:

Regarding the Kenton question, perhaps the plan is for the newly LU
managed stations to be brought up to an appropriate standard first
before they receive the conventional LU station roundel signs - i.e.
there aren't going to be two separate interim station nameboard
styles, instead they'll just be the one that's already being/been
rolled out.
