Reblogged because of the inclusion of the London Underground Diagram, but the other stamps are also representative of the best of British design and are worth a look as well. In a way, it’s more than a little disappointing that the Tube Map shown is the modern TfL version, and not Beck’s original from 1933, especially as everything else reflects the “classic” original version of the product. It’s the same as if they’d decided to […]
Submitted by leisurecomplex, who says: I came across this transit map whilst playing the newly released Destiny on the PS4. This was in the Ishtar District on Venus. I didn’t see any rail infrastructure anywhere though, but the place had seen better days. Transit Maps says: Who says it’s a rail system? This is future Venus, right? Maybe it’s a teleporter, or Jetsons-style air tubes or something! Use your imagination! Great find, though: thanks to […]
Posted by Seiji Tanaka on his Twitter account, here’s a fictional MBTA map at an LA Metro station for film/TV shooting. The map is at the fictional “Rockwater” station on the equally fictional Yellow Line (replacing the real world Orange Line). We’ve covered fictional transit maps from TV shows and movies before (this weird DC Metro map from the TV show “Leverage” springs to mind), but I don’t think I’ve ever seen one where the […]
Because Godzilla and subway map. Together. Source: gameraboy
As much as I hate to admit it, this is actually pretty darn awesome. With its 45-degree angles, it’s definitely channelling the Vignelli diagram far more than the squiggly official map. Source: jeffliebig/Flickr
Reblogged because Ghostbusters and subway map, duh. g1988: THIS THURSDAY, we will also release the newest screenprint from the official 30th Anniversary Ghostbusters Commemorative art project, “Metroplasm” by Anthony Petrie. This fan favorite Subway map is 24 x 36 inches, with around only 200 copies available online, and is even more impressive in person. The print will be released Thursday, May 8th, at 2 PM ET, 11 AM PT at this site: http://shop.ghostbusters30th.com/products/anthony-petrie Some notes for purchasing: […]
From the Season 25 episode that premiered last night, “The Winter of His Content”. Looks like the (supposedly abandoned!) system has had a complete overhaul, expansion and rebranding since its previous appearance (second image). Then again, Springfield’s never made very rational decisions about public transit (monorail monorail monorail…) Source: Simpsons Wiki
This looks extremely promising, especially since development on Third Rail seems to have stalled (no updates on progress since mid-last year). It’s being developed by small New Zealand-based studio, Dinosaur Polo Club (great name and logo!). Here’s the preamble from their website: Mini Metro is a minimalist subway simulation game about designing efficient subway networks. The player must constantly redesign their line layout to meet the needs of a rapidly-growing city. The game, currently available […]
Note: Spoilers, sweetie! Both on the map and in my text! For those people who just have to know the order that things happen in, this is the map for you! Created by a designer at Doctor Who Online, this all looks pretty plausible to me, although I don’t lie awake at night wondering about temporal paradoxes and crossing one’s own time stream. It even includes River’s appearances in related video games and Season 6 […]
