The MTA has released a new subway diagram, drawing inspiration from the acclaimed, though retired, 1979 Vignelli Map. Designer Steven Flamm crafted the diagram to improve navigation for subway riders, particularly by enhancing visual accessibility through the use of bold lines and distinct black bullets indicating subway lines. This marks a significant shift in design philosophy, as the new diagram favors simplicity and contrast with a white background, moving away from the previously cluttered beige design that many found confusing.
The MTA's new subway diagram, designed by Steven Flamm, reintroduces elements from the beloved 1979 Vignelli Map, adapting them for modern navigation ease.
Flamm emphasizes it's a 'diagram,' not a map, focusing on legibility with bold lines and black bullets to aid visibility for all riders.
