What would Harry have thought of it all
What would Harry have thought of it all
Today sees yet another bastardization of H. C. Becks London Underground map. londonist.com report on a new tube map showing Olympic medal winners.
Now even TfL have got in on the act with an "if you cant beat them, join them" attitude for this latest version is an official product, available as a limited edition through their online shop. As those who know me will already know...I am an avid fan of Becks map. I am also a fan of some of the original uses of it as a vehicle for other, re-engineered purposes (e.g. The Great Bear, 1992) but the time has come to say enough is enough. Its also the last straw and I am hereby announcing a forthcoming paper penned by myself and William Cartwright on this very issue...
PS...did I buy it? yes of course...Im a map addict. Dammit.
