Another Bad Thing About That New SFMTA MUNI DPT Logo is that It Looks Just Like a Swastika Turned 45 Degrees
Friday, January 4th, 2013Sure MUNI Sucks, But Here’s a New Way of Sucking: New SFMTA Logo Stolen From ATKA, a Chicago Design Company?
Wednesday, June 20th, 2012Via Todd Lappin of Telstar Logistics comes news of the source of the SFMTA’s new logo.
Better A or B?
Here’s the story:
“For 30 months now, I have been in love with our logo. It has the perfect blend of abstract design with a bold image. It even looks good on metal in our lobby.
Apparently, the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) was holding a contest for designers to take a stab at their new logo. This is pretty major, as this represents the entire public transit system of San Francisco and would probably be plastered on anything with a surface. Recently, the winner of the prestigious contest was chosen: Paul Miller from the great design firm Method (we are big fans of theirs!).
While I have to admit I really like the winning mark, I think it’s because I am a bit biased:
I am a bit beside myself to be honest. I am highly doubtful of this being intentional, more likely a similar creative process (and taste!), but this is a pretty important flag to raise before this becomes the new look of San Francisco

Its Amazing How Much Old Time Montreal Looks Like San Francisco
Monday, February 8th, 2010Check out this bird’s eye view of Montreal, Canada from back in the late 1800′s.

Doesn’t it sort of look a bit like San Francisco, complete with a Bay Bridge, Treasure Island, Market Street, an Embarcadero, Twin Peaks, Russian Hill and all those gridded streets?
Of course, there are differences. Like they’re a big city and we’re a little-big city with less than a million.
And their town is a lot flatter than ours, too. That’s something that we’ll have to take into account when we kick off our Bixi-like bike share system. (Montreal’s attractive bike share system is currently pretty much confined to the flatter parts of town. That kind of approach won’t work here in San Francisco. But at least we don’t ever have heavy snow, which suspends Bixi service for almost half the year.)
Anyway, compare Montreal with the 415:
