Latvijas Dzelzceļš

1992-2000
Latvijas Dzelzceļš was launched on January 1, 1992 as the main state-owned railway company in Latvia with more than 12,400 employees. It owns 1,933.8 kilometres (1,201.6 mi) of 1,520 mm (4 ft 11 27⁄32 in) Russian gauge railway lines and 33.4 kilometres (20.8 mi) of 750 mm(2 ft 5 1⁄2 in) narrow gauge railway lines in Latvia.

Latvijas Dzelzceļš' first logo consists of the word "LDz" in a rounded square. In the word "LDz", the letter "L" is normal and the letter "z" is also normal, but the letter "D" is not normal, it is instead coloured pure-red and has no vertical line, so it gets doubled up its pure-red vertical lineless "D" letter and becomes two pure-red vertical lineless "D" letters. At the bottom of the symbol appears another symbol to the left and the text "Latvijas Dzelzceļš" is next to the symbol. The company's full name "VAS "LDz - Latvijas Dzelzceļš" A/S" appears below the text "Latvijas Dzelzceļš".

2000-present
On January 1, 2000, Latvijas Dzelzceļš introduced a new logo which changes its color from grey into black and receives its biggest refresh during that time, at the introduction of Latvijas Dzelzceļš new advertising slogan and marketing campaign. The "LDz" text in the center of the rounded square ceases to have the grey colour and shall instead have the black colour, and its pure red colors are now made out of scanlines. The spheres' dark texture have also been more simplified. This is the worst ever logo to use the dark texture, albeit with a more simplified feel to it. This logo was first unveiled in December 1999, and then, it made its official debut on January 1, 2000.
