The great big design failures thread

Report them here. I'll kick off with the new / refreshed London tube map.

TfL have removed the Thames and the zone information in the process of 'de-cluttering' the map.

The problem is, the river is useful because it helps you understand where you're going geographically bearing in mind the map is schematic.

The zones are important because you need to know how much to pay for a ticket.

Terrible.

    eek! ^


    sometimes little naughtinesses that can be plausibly denied are purposeful. in this case, i'd bet not. :)



    not sure if this is a design failure.... unless you count the name and product description as part of the design. it's a shame that the excellent illustration is wasted on such a stupid product.
