Hey guys-

I'm looking for some advice for my dad. He's big into Lionel trains and, after moving, has put together a pretty awesome layout. What he wants to do now is get a logo for his train layout so that he can print out a couple signs for it.

He doesn't need anything super-fancy (or more importantly, super-expensive), any recommendations on places to go to get something made?

Thanks for any advice you guys can offer and happy holidays!

If you had Railroad Tycoon 3 or something like that, you could probably find a generic logo that they use for the corporations in that game. Other option would be to just google search for train logos and see if a generic one comes up that appeals.

Brad I would have your Dad go to Fiverr.com to have something done. You would be surprised how much you can get for $5.

I never would have thought of that.

Even googling "railroad tycoon 3 logos" brings up a nice number of results, including one to a site that looks like it has tons of RR merch, including logo signs: Railroad, railways, choo choo trains, caboose, train ride, train shows, train shirts, railroad shirts, train apparel, railroad apparel, train T-shirts, railroad T-shirts, signs, coffee mugs, mouse pads (http://www.rebelrails2.com/store/index.php?l=product_list&c=121)

I'm going to have to look through those myself - I've always liked the style of RR logos (and oil/gas).
