I don't think it should be a problem, The standard TFL logo (Red Circle with a Blue Line Through the middle) means any part of London Public Transport. (That means Underground, Overground, TFL, Buses, Croydon Trams, DLR, and I even think we could use it to signify any station/stop where an Oyster/Travel Card can be used. However we may also want to use the Good Old standard British Rail Sideways Z for that. (if we can get permission) However I think we need to use something standard that is the same world wide on our main maps so Underground in Washington DC looks the same as Paris, London, or Moscow.
