Last night I saw Massimo Vignelli speak at the MCA. I knew only of his work for Knoll, as well as some of his glass designs for Vennini.

So in addition to learning about so much more of his work, the one project he did that made me swoon was the of the NYC subway map and all of the signage graphics.

Yes. It's things like this that make me really happy. You know the way Amelie likes to stick her hand in bags of grain? I like to stare at the relationships between letters on subway signs while waiting for the train.
