I assumed that's what you were thinking of. Would drawing it 'by
hand' not be sufficient? I've mocked up tube station signs (for
various reasons) before in Photoshop with a red circle, a blue bar
and the right font in white. (The 'old' Johnston font is
commercially available, and is what many of the station roundels
are done with. 'New' Johnston is not at all available outside of
LU/TfL as far as I can see...)


I have got a mock up, but it's not quite as real as I'd like:

That's the small version, but the bigger version looks a bit dodgy.

Hello. I'm one of those "roaring fascists of the left wing".

Then and than are different words!
