Related to this, can anyone who has seen an LU paper 1-day travelcard
recently please tell me whether it now carries the National Rail
double-arrow logo as well as the LU Roundel? *I've seen photos of two
designs, one headed:

[LU roundel] [NR double-arrow] Day Travelcard

and the other one headed with a continuous repeating pattern:

...on Underground *[LU roundel] *London Underground *[LU Roundel]
London Undergr...

Which is the current one?

I believe the former was purchased at a ticket office/Ticket Stop and the
latter at a Tube station ticket machine.

For variety, I have one from 9 February which has, along the top, "[LU
roundel] Docklands Light Railway" three times.

It has no NR logo anywhere.

But I think the difference is more likely to be based on whether it
comes from a machine, which would have only one kind of ticket blank.
The logo isn't likely to be printed at the time of purchase, so the
question is whether LU ticket offices have different ticket blanks for
travelcards.

Do you mean the self-service machines at LU ticket offices? (Do these
even sell weekly travelcards?)

I though the whole point of this discussion was that if you bought a
Travelcard at an LU ticket window they forced you to accept it on an
Oyster card.

This bit was about the design of one-day travelcards, which they won't
put on Oyster.

I am assuming (haven't tried lately) that LU wouldn't refuse to sell a
one-day travelcard to someone who needed to use NR, and so would have
to sell a paper ticket, as they would to extend a paper travelcard etc.

The logos did use to be printed on ticket machine travelcards at the
time of issue, as the blanks were the same regardless of the ticket
type. It was in the same ink as the rest of the ticket information, so
grey rather than the white (for NR) or red/pink (for LU) when printed
as part of the paper ticket.

I definitely remember a roundel being printed on a NR machine-bought
travelcard; I don't recall the NR logo being printed on LU machine-bought
travelcards.
