  I see that - by some happy coincidence - SwissMiss posted this video of Massimo and Leila Vignelli just minutes before I published my previous post on the Vignelli map. Enjoy!

  Sometimes a great design doesn't achieve the success that is anticipated, however, it may have the makings of a timeless classic. Imitation is the greatest form of flattery. Vignelli Design designed the NYC Subway Map back in 1970 and was not well received when it was launched in 1972. The current NYC subway map takes plentiful cues from the Vignelli map. There are many examples of graphic design and data presentation that draw directly from the Vignelli version of the subway map, like this guide to automotive company ownership.
