Looking for London tube maps

[Deleted]

Hello all,

I love the iconic London tube maps as I am fond of art, myself, it has become even more real pieces of design to me since the Art On the Underground program started and original artworks appeared on the maps covers but I still miss the following ones (in red):

tube paint
multicolor circles
art.tfl.gov.uk/projects/detail/1122/
pink and black vertical with dots
art.tfl.gov.uk/projects/detail/1349/
messy lines
world map
friday text
portrait drawing
pshyco test
RAF logo
carpet fragment
b&w musician
black and multicolor lines square
detail of tube map
large black cover with small colors in circle
hand palm
big dots
bird drawing
mix of circles and lines
earth globe
squashy grains

Slightly different, but I have another question for you, I don't know if these exist as simple leaflet the size of a tube map, for example they could have been made leaflet-size to advertise the real book?
the roundel
art.tfl.gov.uk/projects/detail/8570/
150
art.tfl.gov.uk/projects/detail/9851/

I have nothing really related to the London tube to exchange, but if you have an old one you would agree to spare, maybe would you accept, I don't know, a map of my city, an article from your favourite rock band? Let's discuss about it.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Where do you live? If there is a metro or tram line near to where you live you might consider swapping maps of those systems.

I've considered this, phillw48, that could be a deal indeed.

The city is Grenoble, France, its twinned with Oxford, to give you an idea. There is no tube, but it has a tram system. The actual map is quite 'normal', it's not very 'graphic' and shows also all bus routes. That said, there may be different versions, in different publications, where it allows more graphic freedom. I will look into it if someone wants.

Hello Dstock7080,

thanks for your message.

After checking the website and my leaflets, I feel like i'm not always sure to really know when the map has had a new artwork. Sometimes I 'm not sure if it's a new one or if it's the same as the month before.
Personnaly the date is finally not so important to me, it's really the different artwork on the cover that counts, whatever month is printed next to it. Thus i rearranged my list in the first post to give every artwork a name to recognise them more easily - i think (I didn't keep the artwork title because it's sometimes abstract and doesn't depict the design really). i have written the ones I'm still looking for in red and left a link so you can see them if needed.
I believe the list is complete and I hope it will help you check your list easily.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

I thought I would do a little update...

I am still looking for some help to find the following maps:

multicolor circles
art.tfl.gov.uk/projects/detail/1122/
pink and black vertical with dots
art.tfl.gov.uk/projects/detail/1349/

and also the leaflets

the roundel
art.tfl.gov.uk/projects/detail/8570/

150
art.tfl.gov.uk/projects/detail/9851/

I have a leaflet
'100 years 100 artists, 100 works of art',
art.tfl.gov.uk/projects/detail/1368/
which has a reproduction of a poster on the reverse when you unfold the flyer (on the website image page seven, number 6)
Do you have this leaflet with another poster inside?

Thank you in advance for your help

(and thanks again Dstock7080)

Hello all,

As I had a friendly welcome the first time around, I'm back today as I see that the tube map is having a new image cover, so if anybody was willing to send me one, i would happily reward you with a little postcard or something.

Also, I have a question: wasn't there any 'Olympics 2012' design cover?

Thanks in advance for your help.
