Just aesthetics, I suppose.
But then there's not much underground publicity that I think is
well designed anyway.


I quite like it. I've actually had a poster of it since I was quite
young.


How much of the original poster is used on the map?
It's the balance you see... it seems wrongly placed to me.
Of course, this sort of thing is totally subjective.

I don't like the way a lot of recent Underground publicity is moving
away from the use of New Johnston (e.g. the We (underground logo)
London stuff).

I've just looked at an EWSA; the cover is New Johnston but the
contents seems to be something different..


EWSA (Engineering Works Safety Arrangements): Is it issued by LU or
Metronet/Tube Lines? I could understand a different typeface being used if
it's a Metronet document.
