The New York City subway is garnering a lot of attention lately. Paul Shaw's superb book on subway graphics started the ball rolling. Now, Brooklyn based designers David Heasty and Stefanie Weigler (of Triboro Design) have produced a new New York City subway map printed in a single color: Florescent red, of course. As Heasty notes, "The new design strips away the familiar color-coding of the subway system routes while still maintaining a level of hierarchy and functionality. All lines of the map are forced to conform to an underlying grid of 45 and 90 degree angles, yet surprisingly, the landmass contours here are more true-to-life than on the MTA map.
