In the published game 1870, the destination "token" is shown in black and
white, while the actual home base is in color.  (Of course this makes no
difference for the T&P, whose logo is in black and white anyway.)  In the
published game 1856, the tokens are plain text, but the destination "token"
is substantially smaller than a city circle.

Either will work.  Combining both methods should work especially well.
