Another awesome selection of prints and posters for your consideration this year. You can also look at last year’s selection of gift ideas using the “2015 Gift Guide” tag.

Mini Metros by Peter Dovak. A neat idea, executed very well indeed. See if your friends can identify all 220 systems! Available in “spectrum” and “monochrome” versions from $15 on Society6 (links no longer active).

Vanmaps by Andrew “Vanshnookenraggen” Lynch. A wide variety of colour-coded maps of individual lines from systems across the United States (the MBTA’s Red Line is shown). Prints from $25 at vanmaps.com

Typographical Map of Los Angeles by Axis Maps. Not a transit map, but an astounding piece of cartography that I can’t help but share. The work that’s gone into this beautiful piece is amazing. See also their range of other cities! $30 for a 24×36″ print at Axis Maps (link no longer active).

The New York City Subway Poster by Hamish Smyth. A gorgeous print of the names of all 469 New York Subway stations. Printed in 11 spot colours and licensed by the MTA. 24×33.25″ print for $49 at subwayposter.com (link no longer active).

Visit Toronto Today! by Paul Dotey. A whimsically illustrated look at Toronto (and its transit network) in a post-global warming world. Subway or submarine? 28×20″ print for $CAN65 at Paul’s bigcartel site (link no longer active).

Colors of the Rails by Nicholas Rougeux. An abstract look at the colours used by rapid transit system maps around the world: the bigger each box, the more stations there are on that line. Prints in a variety of sizes on Nick’s site.

New Zealand State Highways by Andrew Douglas-Clifford. A map very much in line with many of my own projects, but nicely done indeed. Prints for $NZ42.99 at Andrew’s site.

The Wrong Color Subway by Triboro Studios. Fabulously incorrect and loud prints of the New York Subway (with a design based on Triboro’s earlier One-Color Subway Map). There are versions based on both the RGB and CMYK colour models. 45×48″ prints for $180 at Triboro’s website.
