Hi Philipp,

Wayside signals are not universal to railways, and where they are
used
they differ a lot in appearance.
That's why I tried to use a rarely used signal. But I can modify the
currently used signal in such a manner that it looks more abstracted
(and therefore international).
I'd prefer some symbol universally asssociated with railways.
Examples would be the winged wheel, or the cross-section of rail (like
in the China Railway logo).
I think that a winged wheel is a too old sign and the large railway
companies do not use it anymore. We are an infrastructure map and that's
why we (Alex, Peter R. and Eike) decided not to use a train at the logo.
That's why I do not want to use a wheel.
I do not like the variant with the rail profile in the logo. I does not
fit to the other parts of the logo. While the other parts of the logo
are a small-scaled view on the world, the rail profile has a very large.
Instead, I add another variants with a signal which is a strang mix.
Some may recognize the the shape of Swiss signal type L, other may see a
the stripe on the signal pole I have token from a German level crossing
signal.

The draft with the blue pencil at the forth column form the left is my
favourite followed by the dark yellow pencil (bottom) at the same column.
I would like to keep the debate short (you may comment but please do it
soon) because I want to use this logo for a flyer which has to be
designed. All this (including printing the flyers) has to happen until I
go on my trip with rurseekatze through East Germany on August 14, 2015.
Best regards
Michael
