The London Underground's design system, including its iconic maps, signage, and roundels, is a masterpiece of design and information architecture. Developed over many decades by a team of talented designers and engineers, the system is a model of clarity, consistency, and efficiency. The design team took inspiration from various sources, including the work of Harry Beck, who created the first diagrammatic map of the Underground in 1931. The result is a system that is both aesthetically pleasing and highly functional, helping millions of people navigate the complex network of tunnels and stations that make up the London Underground.
