Hi Marian,
thank you for your drafts.

I've tried to create an improved version based on your
suggestion, see
the attached file [1]. I've made the "rails" a little longer to make
them more dominant [2]. I also added a white border around the signal
because that is something that's part of a signal in quite a few
countries, and it makes it a little less "German" :)
I like your signal modification but I created a draft which removes the
white Five from your draft.
The fact that I chose the yellow pencil is rather random, the blue
one
is fine, too (I don't like the gray one however.)
I would prefer the blue pencil. But it is easy to switch the colours of
the pencil's faces. :-)
I created this before you posted the columns 5 and 6; I do like the
green-yellow thing [3] and the post colors of these suggestions, maybe
one could merge that into my design; but I'd like to hear some comments
first.
I have merged my signal into your design and created variants with the
blue pencil.

Column 7, row 2 is your draft.
Column 7, row 1 ist the same but with a blue pencil.
Column 8 is equal to 7 but without the white Five.
Column 9 uses the Swiss signal with yellow above green.
Besides, I don't like the variant with the paper roll; in case
this is
some kind of vote :)
My current favourite is column 8, blue pencil.
[1] Choose one of Public Domain/CC-0/Beerware.
I decided to use PD/CC-0 to make reuse as easy as possible even if I
leave the project. (And I cannot harm the project if I choose PD/CC-0
(ab)using the copyright.)
[2] although I'm not sure if this black-white-dashed thing is
something
that is associated with trains everywhere, maybe it's just a German
convention?
OSM Carto which is a British style uses a black-white-dashed line. The
alternative would be a black/dark gray line with small
[3] I suggest putting yellow above green, to have one more detail
where
it differs from road traffic lights.
The current column-5/6-signal is a Swiss signal with an invalid light
order. If I switch green and yellow, I will get a valid signal. That's
why I wanted to avoid. But an invalid signal which looks Swiss may
disturb Swiss visitors/users/railway experts because it looks "wrong".
At the moment I do not know a country which has signals similar to yours.
Best regards
Michael
