Network Rail suggest the huge symbol on the flat roof of the concourse was added when the Gatwick Express brand launched in 1984
Construction of new station building takes off at Gatwick Airport
Building work started on Gatwick Airport’s huge new railway station concourse yesterday (Sunday), as the first train arrived at one of the platforms that has been rebuilt.

Shot from ‘the 1980s‘ according to History of Sussex (Grahame Hawthorn) on Facebook

Note the original symbol was negative (the current version is positive but negative metrics whack makes it look a bit light)

The whole thing is 1436 high (extending over the arms); tell me, whats the difference between 1435mm and 1436mm (and please don’t say 1mm)? After all, 4' 8½" is 1435.1mm :)
