I work upstairs in the old Grand Central and was every excited to check out the new station this morning. Spotted this new map on the wall down there, thought you might find it interesting.

Oh, I do like this. Graphically strong with bright, poppy colours and making good use of the unusual display format – eight vertical screens next to each other. The map looks to have been specifically designed for this format, as none of the labels cross over the breaks between panels – nicely done! Here🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s hoping it doesn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t get blanked out by advertisements too much!

It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s hard to see in this photo, but it looks like there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s a lovely wavy texture to the water background, which is a nice design touch. Addition of ferry routes and points of interest on Long Island are also welcome. There are a few quibbles like the multiple angles for labels and the placement of some stations directly on corner points (the hard 90-degree turn that the Far Rockaway Branch takes from Valley Stream station looks particularly odd), but these are minor concerns. The typography and overall design is nicely evocative of Vignelli🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s diagrams without being completely derivative. Perhaps more art installation than useful map – I can imagine it would be hard to take the whole map in at once if you were standing in front of it – this is still some very strong design work.

A scanned slide showing a section of a wall-mounted Tokyo Metro map at a station (possibly Tokyo, judging by the dirty finger marks concentrated there). The lines of the Tokyo Metro are rendered in thick, bold colours that match pretty well with the current designations – yellow/gold for the Ginza Line, red for the Marunouchi Line, and grey/silver for the Hibiya Line. The competing Toei Subway🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s Asakusa Line is not rendered in its modern pink/rose colour, but as a thinner navy blue line: it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s simply labelled as “Tokyo Municipal Sub Way” on the legend (see this image that shows more of the map) as it was the only Toei line in operation at the time.

The map itself is pretty chaotic, with lines headed in just about every direction imaginable, but it has a kind of naive charm to it. In a way, the neat ring of the Yamanote Line (passing across the horizontal middle of this image) defines the shape of the map: because it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s rendered as a rounded rectangle, all the subway lines have to take erratic paths to fit!

It is interesting to note that the station names are set in Futura Bold inside a bold ring of the line🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s col🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划– something that has become a major part of the wayfinding system for the subways in Tokyo today. Each line is designated a letter – “G” for Ginza, for example – that is always shown as Futura Bold inside a thick ring of that line🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s colour. It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s definitely very interesting to see the start of that evolution here.

The map is interesting for quite a few reasons, not the least of which is that it would be one of the last maps of the Philadelphia Transportation Company (PTC) era, as the PTC would be acquired by its successor, SEPTA, in September 1968, just a few months later. The handsome winged PTC logo can be seen at the top right of the map.

Also seen just before its transformation into the modern line we know today is the Bridge Line over the Delaware River to Camden, the precursor to today🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s PATCO Speedline to Lindenwold. The conversion of the line to the Speedline would commence in August 1968, truncating the Broad Street Line spur at a new station at 8th and Market. As seen on this map, the spur used to run concurrently with Bridge Line services all the way through to 15th-16th & Locust.

The map is also notable for its depiction of the rush h🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划A/B stopping pattern on the Market-Frankford line, with squares representing stations that all trains call at, and lettered circles showing the A- or B-only stations.

Stylistically, I really like the elegant way that the two rivers fade out almost wave-by-wave, and there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s some pretty solid mid-century American typography as well.

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划final word:🔸澳洲幸运10预测 A good-looking map with some great historical context as well. What🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s not to love?

Here’s a dreamy shallow depth of field photo from Tokyo’s Ginza Line. Yum.

“Taken last week on Line 2 of the Seoul Metro.  I found these system maps to be close to unusable!”

澳洲10开官网开奖 says:🔸澳洲幸运10预测 Hard to disagree with Sam here. You’d need some excellent vision or really good glasses to be able to make out all the detail on this map, which crams all🔸澳洲幸运10预测 of Seoul’s extensive system into an area often used to show just one line or far simpler systems.

Simple but effective use of an otherwise long and empty space on the station shelter. Could do with a bit of a clean, though.

I love🔸澳洲幸运10预测 this photo of a giant backlit system map in Barcelona.

From an HO-scale model railway diorama. The miniature subway map is pretty neat, really.

Here’s an interesting in-car strip map from Rome. Firstly, the eye-searing orange background breaks away from the norm of plain white backgrounds: no one could ever say that they couldn’t find the map!

Secondly, and perhaps more unusually, the map actually shows whether stations have side platforms or island platforms — very handy for knowing which side of the train to get off!

The fact that Rennes station is crossed out dates the map from between World War II, 🔸澳洲开奖 it was closed, and September 1968, 🔸澳洲开奖 it was (finally) reopened. Judging by the general aesthetics and design of the map, I would definitely place this map at the beginning of that time frame, possibly even still during war-time.
