I should grab a photo, but the Humber College station facades of the LRT now have giant "T"s on them.
What does the "T" stand for? "Terrific"? "lrT"? "doug fordT"?
Very confused.

This was asked during the FWLRT open house. Here is the answer (hard to provide a direct link):
I was not expecting to see it in the actual built up stations but maybe its still a place holder until the final signs are ready?

Wait, its still considered a placeholder? Its plastered on every crosstown station, its found on so many new bus stop poles as well as GO Station signage, I feel like we've moved beyond it being considered a "placeholder".This was asked during the FWLRT open house.

The only thing that makes sense to me is the Moderator is referring to the slightly different design that was showcased in many earlier renderings of Lines 5 and 6 where the T literally was an inverted MBTA logo, which while that does make the response here accurate - its also very misleading. The guy was questioning the need to have a T logo at all, and the value of the regional transit logo. The fact is that comparing the "final" and "placeholder" logos is a massive game of "spot the difference" - It doesn't really change the point the guy was making.

Part of Metrolinx's rebranding efforts is to "harmonize" the appearance of signage across the region.
The circle-T logo is the new standard for anything to do with boarding or disembarking transit. GO train stations will have it, rapid transit stations will have it, in-road LRT & BRT stops will have it, and roadside stops for buses will have it.

Hmm.
Sounds like the circle T is the generic indicator for transit, and below that is the logo of the specific service provider.

Not that I'll ever use them, but it's fantastic that they're building bike lanes! I wasn't aware of that.

Oh - it wasn’t totally obvious? /s
My tongue is firmly in cheek. It’s Metrolinx’s totally generic “could be anywhere in the world” signage to indicate that this is a transit station.
What sort of transit? That is an exercise for the commuter.
