Inspired by Underground Signs and their search for interesting subway signs, I humbly present this one—a clever way of covering up the old W line.
Awesome! Thanks for thinking of us! We’ve actually received a few orders for the NQR[W] line and we’re forced to ask “Do you want the W or not?” - some people prefer it for old time’s sake, others want to stay modern. Personally, we love keeping the W!
News Round Up
In case you’ve missed some of our recent annoncements, here’s what’s going on with Underground Signs as of late and this coming fall:
- Open House New York will be doing a special segment at the Brooklyn Navy Yard featuring our little company, Underground Signs where you’ll get to see our main office HQs
- Our signature NYC Subway signs were used in Clorox’s “Ode to the Commode” campaign and presented by the lovely and hilarious, Niecy Nash
- Our “Wall St” station sign will be getting its 15 minutes of fame in the upcoming indie flick, Loosies!
Also in the works is kinking out our new production model that’s entirely based here in Brooklyn, which means turn around time is much speedier and customization more flexible. Our site is also undergoing some maintenance so if you have any feedback for us, shoot us a message. Last but not least, we are working on more promotions so that you all can score some sweet discounts with some new friends of ours in the design world.
Thanks for the follows, likes, and reblogs! Keep ‘em coming!
