Subway Art

…sorry, not that Subway Art.
Metro-Bits has a great collection of subway system logo art from around the world.
Of course, I'm biased, but the original subway system—Boston's MBTA—still has the best logo. Boston's T logo is the black bold encircled "T" in the upper right corner of the screenshot above.
Apologies to any San Fransiscans, but the MUNI logo is my least favorite. I'm sure it was a big hit in the 1970's when Waltor Landor designed the worm typeface, but today it feels like… well, like it was designed in the 1970's.

The London Underground symbol has become iconic. Love it.
Right - my bad. Boston was the first underground transit line in the US, but London's Underground did pre-date the T by a couple years.
