Lionel 115th Ann. Logo?

 

Only the unwashed argue that.

Like a "tempest in a teapot"! 

I don't dislike or like the logo, but I think I understand their attempt at "little of this and a little of that era" mixture to the design.

 

Maybe Lionel is saving it's best design offering for their 125th anniversary, or we missed the "true" collector's angle to #115 which is really a factory defect: 1900 to 2015 is 116 years.

 

WRONG.  It is 115.

Nothing wrong about promoting this milestone and I am OK with the logo selected. Why not take advantage of a long history in the business and capitalize on this when you can.

 

Probably all of the products related to the 115th Anniversary will sell well, including the silver plated Berkshire.

I like the logo. Nobody is forcing anybody to buy any train with the logo.
Some of you guys need to get out of the basement every now and then.

I sort of like it, too.  It is not a great logo, but I don't care that much one way or the other.  

 

I am very happy, however, that Lionel is celebrating 115.  that is cool.

No one commented on the word "young" after 115 years.   Have they done this before?

 

Even without hindsight, it's pointless to respond to you who appoints oneself as the definitive authority on everything and displays it with such subtle style and class.  Good job and well done.

I do like the logo...never said otherwise.  Just though the font looked odd, making me question if it was intentional. 

 

The MPC-Fundimensions font was also carried over into the LTI era for a time as well, albeit modified slightly during the Kenner-Parker transition with a new border encompassing the lettering and inclusion of the Circle-L logo.

 

 

 

115th Anniversary logo makes an appearance on the 2015 Toy Fair boxcar.

The boxcars are labeled on the bottom, number x of 115.

With only 115 cars made, it will be a tough one to find.

 

Whew.

 

 

 

 

 

The neon pub clock (115th anniversary version) was made in a very limited run of 115, too. I wanted one of those but they are scarce. And not paying the crazy asking prices I see out there now.

 

I'll wait.
