This one is really one of my favorites. It's sharp. Doesn't have as much
recognition as some of the others but it looks good. What I think is cool is
that the spelled out version (of the original Pere Marquette lettering, not
sure if J2 found it but he's very very close) is done in the font actually
known as "Michigan Railroad"... is that cool or what?

Looking at <http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=5784> and the
page Scott mentioned, <http://rrhistorical-2.com/gtwhs/logos.html>, I'm
wondering if the GTRS logo ever appeared without the background maple leaf,
in red.  Replacing "Grand Trunk Railway System" with "Michigan LEGO(R) Train
Club" would give us a simple, bold logo.

Would this have a better recognition factor than the pm2 logo?
