This documentation is transcluded from Template:London transit icons/doc.

This is an image set of icons used by Transport for London, as of 2024: former lines and routes are included for sake of completeness.

Colour standards

The official colour specifications can be found at the website of Transport for London: we use Pantone's own RGB values, because they are more stable than TfL's RGB and CMYK values. In addition:

• The colour for Crossrail, before it became the Elizabeth line, is Pantone 265.
• The colour for the East London line, when it was part of the London Underground, is Pantone 137.
• The colour for the Fleet line was Pantone 431: Pantone 432 was too easy to confuse with the Northern line.
• The colour for the London Cable Car is Pantone 186.

Design standards

The official flag box specifications can be found at the website of Transport for London: Wikimedia uses flag box heights based on page 17 of the standard:

• Flag boxes are 480 pixels wide.
• Single-line flag boxes (such as the Central line) are 60 pixels high.
• Double-line flag boxes (such as the Hammersmith & City line) are 120 pixels high.
• Overground flag boxes (such as the Windrush line) are 84 pixels high.

Flag boxes use NJFont, the latest version of New Johnston.

Only the British Rail symbol may be used in flag boxes, since they are out of copyright since 1 January 2016. The threshold of originality in the United Kingdom is lower than Greece and the United States.
