New York City FOOD & WINE FESTIVAL



Yes, call me repetitive. Call me predictable. But I'm a sucker for anything New York Subway design related. This take on the current MTA subway route map turned wine glass is the newest in a line of great designs inspired by great design.

NYC Food & Wine Festival

The New York City Food & Wine Festival will be held Thursday, October 9 through Sunday, October 12. The logo, seen on the festival's web site and on light pole banners around downtown Manhattan, takes the multi-hued routes of the various New York subway lines and re-works them into an abstract wine goblet. Even praised designer Massimo Vignelli might appreciate this distant relative to his ground-breaking subway map work. [Shown below]

In your post about RISE, you mentioned visionary designers. Vignelli is one of my design heroes. I collect his maps for the National Park Service.

Love the wine glass!
