The New York MTA Graphic Standards Manual

Posted on DateMarch 8, 2013 |

Joe Clark, on his quest to see the MTA Graphic Standards Manual:

I’ve been trying to get my hands on a copy of the New York City Metropolitan Transit Authority Graphic Standards Manual ever since Triborough managed to do so. This style bible, written by Massimo Vignelli and Bob Noorda for Unimark, is the sword in the stone of transit wayfinding manuals.

He didn’t get his hands on one, but he did find a Flickr set showing the pages. It’s a pretty interesting look at the graphics of wayfinding and identity for America’s biggest city.
