Our Font
Back-on-Track used Mark Pro ever since.
Mark Pro is a derivate of the FF Mark font, a sans serif created by Hannes von Doehren, Christoph Koeberlin and the FontFont Type Department in 2013. It contains a broad range of special characters that will allow us to properly display place names throughout Europe. FF Mark is free for personal use, Mark Pro in offered on numerous sites as a free font. We assume personal use includes non-commercial voluntary activities like ours.
You can download it at 8fonts (Regular and Bold) or at UpFonts (complete family)
Our Logo
Our logo should always display light stars on a dark background. So please use the inverted version if the Logo is displayed on a dark backgroud.

FFF-Version
As night trains are a solution to significantly reduce the greenhouse gas emissions in transport we understand ourselves as a part of the For Future movement. In order to be visible at future climate strike events, we developed this (not quite correctly spelled) version of our Logo in order to produce a flag. As this was also demanded in a monochrome version for T-shirts, feel free to download the logo to produce your own tee.

Spelling guidelines:
Place and Station names
Rules are different in each country, so here’s a proposal how to streamlined this to some applicable rules for all of Europe:
Local placenames: In Articles on the Website, the Night Train Database and the Night Train Map we practise a policy of using local spelling, Greek/Cyrillic is always complemented with a latinised version using English transcription (as in Wikipedia), behind or below the original. So it’s Venezia, München, København and İstanbul instaed of Venice, Munich, Copenhagen and Istanbul. Most letters are somewhere on the keyboard, some might have to be copied (like the İ in İstanbul).
Alternative names: We also support smaller languages (as in San Sebastián/Donostia) to cherish our lingual diversity in Europe, however not dialects or languages which are official languages in other countries unless this is an official bilingualism (as in Bruxelles/Brussel or Bolzano/Bozen). We use a slash and the order by the number of speakers (if known) so it’s Innichen/San Candido and Bolzano/Bozen even though the official order is Italian/German.
In the database common placenames in English or other languages (Munich, Monaco) may be added to support search operations. These versions are not displayed though.
Dividers and abbrreviations: Station names are written without hyphen just behind the city name: Zürich HB, Zürich Affoltern, combined names like Clermont-Ferrand keep their Hyphen. Station of multiple cities get a Slash between spaces (like Köln / Bonn). Station abbreviations like Hbf, C, HB don’t get a point. Abbreviations like St. or Sta. always get a point. To show destination pairs in a route we use ” = ” like in Berlin Hbf = Paris Gare de l’Est to indicate that the connection is bi-directional.
