If Conrail still existed, what would their logo look like now?

BNSF changed their logo 3 times from when they were formed, so if Conrail still existed, do you think their logo would have changed?

3 times? AFAIK It went from the Wagon Wheel to the Swoosh scheme. I don't know of any others..

If Conrail was still around I think they would still have the Quality logo. saving money was their attempted claim to fame so I don't think it would have changed much. I don't think they would have a heritage fleet either. They liked everything one way and didn't really deviate from that. Unfortunately, that was also part of their downfall. this is all speculation and opinion. I don't have any concrete inside information.

Smaller swoosh on the hood of the ET44C4s.

That isn't a logo change.
Its a space constraint.

Conrail had 2 logos at the same time, surely, they'd keep one of them, so, I'm unsure what this thread is really all about....... !*roll-laugh*!

So if Conrail had GEVO's, would they more than likely look like NS 8098?
