Passenger Trains > New "IAmTrak" logo

Seems a bit CalTrainish. Can't we just go back to "ALL ABOARD AMERICA" & phase III in perpetuity?

Too confusing for my taste.

Really neat. Has lots of different meanings and the right words.

I'm going to guess that this is something internal and maybe not intended for the general public at all, an employee promotion of some kind: "I am Amtrak".
I've not seen it yet, but that's what looks like to me.

Still, the TO Passenger Page DOES like something to complain about- so enjoy

That would imply that Amtrak wishes to serve all of America.

This brings back memories... Tacky, but the jingle is kinda catchy.

Seems meaningless, a copycat of the iEverything. At least the word Amtrak has meaningful meaning about America and railroad "Traks." This isn't the usual complaint about Amtrak, but it's the downfall of advertising and marketing - they believe the consumers are barefoot and stupid* and fall for this kind of stuff.

*I'm borrowing a phrase from a rather infamous craft beer. :-)

I could go along with that. Amtrak should serve more of America.

One of the dumbest tags ever. Horrible design as well.

And it is as stupid as all other Amtrak logos. Stop changing the deck chairs and start running a railroad!

Seriously - they should have just paid Michael Schwab to create a timeless logo that instantly brings to mind "America's Railroad" to those viewing. It would matches the look of all the route posters he has created over the years.
