GojiMet86 Posted December 2, 2019 Share #1 Posted December 2, 2019 The New York City Subway Map as You’ve Never Seen It Before The Metropolitan Transportation Authority map reflects how graphic design, politics and geography have shaped the city over the last 40 years. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/12/02/nyregion/nyc-subway-map.html 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Union Tpke Posted December 2, 2019 Share #2 Posted December 2, 2019 (edited) There is one glaring error. The unification of the IND, IRT and BMT took place in 1940, not 1942. It takes a simple google search. That one is unforgivable. Edited December 2, 2019 by Union Tpke 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MHV9218 Posted December 5, 2019 Share #5 Posted December 5, 2019 That stat about the number fonts is exactly what drove somebody like Vignelli crazy. Cohesion was the goal – hodgepodges of fonts and sizes were a sign of bad design. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deucey Posted December 9, 2019 Share #7 Posted December 9, 2019 Vanshnookenraggen (or however you say it) made the better map. Too bad it won’t fit in the map space on the trains. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
