The poster recently appeared in a 2014 episode of Mad Men, during the show’s seventh season. Featured prominently in advertising executive Roger Sterling’s office, the poster is used to ominously evoke the psychedelic ’60s.

1972 modernist subway map by designer, Massimo Vignelli who also designed the New York City Transit Authority’s Graphic Standards Manual in 1970. This simplified map is not geographically accurate, simplifying the subway system into a diagram of colored lines. Each station is represented by a dot and linked to other color-coded lines running vertical, horizontal, or at 45-degree angles. Water is beige, parks are brown, the boroughs are greatly distorted with no mention of specific landmarks or neighborhoods. Central Park, for example, is wider than it is tall.

Since the map was replaced for a more geographically accurate map in 1979, the map has become a favorite for graphic design enthusiasts.
