If there’s one thing I love, it’s a good Metro/Subway/Underground map. Some of them are design classics and really shouldn’t be messed with (London especially). Others have flaws, but are mostly tolerable (Boston not naming all stations on the Green Line really annoys me, but the rest of the diagram is quite well done).
And then there are the diagrams that I simply can’t abide.

A favourite shot from a very special morning of photograpy. The beautiful early morning sun seen here only lasted half an hour before it disappeared behind thick, grey cloud. But while it was around, the lighting was absolutely glorious!

Let me just start this critique by saying that I love Doctor Who, both the classic and the “New Who” series. However, the previous logo for the series left a lot to be desired: sort of a long, narrow surfboard with the name set an extremely narrow typeface (akin to Futura Condensed, if not that exact face). Definitely not in keeping with the quirky, mysterious ethos of the series.
