Some examples of what the city looks like graphic design-wise when you walk around (LONG POST)
During the past unblogged week I spent some sightseeing time in London with my family, with no hackable WiFi in my hotel room. Very basic sightseeing which allowed me to get interested â€â€and attracted in all the public signs that build the city’s typo-graphic style.
All photos taken with a Sony Ericsson S700.
Bus stop vertical identifiers have good looking modular elements. However I don’t see the point in using the Underground logo as the unifying identity of all public transports.
It must take some queue waiting time and bureaucracy headaches to get all those parking permits. But how cool is the barcode.
I saw many not bad looking examples of provisional information posters like this temporal parking timetables. [More on next page].
