Yet Another Muni Rebranding

worm_redesign

Derek from Network Osaka sent us this well-thought-out collection of new designs for Muni. Derek started with the beloved Muni worm, which apparently lost its holiday weight already, and worked his way through redesigning entire vehicles, uniforms, signs, stations, and even passes.

The last time we visited a Muni redesign experiment, Robert Padbury went in an entirely different direction (and one I didn’t care for at all). I liked Jeremiah’s Muni tweak more.

Take a look at Derek’s Muni redesign page and let us know what you think.

Attn. pirates: Are cats the new parrots?

I think we can safely say that these two complete each other. No, really, block out one or the other, and it’s not the same.

This comes via our correspondent Amy, who spotted it on Facebook after someone (Mark Gorney, and thank jeebus he did) spotted it in the wild. A simply heartwarming photograph called for a simple accompaniment:

“Sometimes, there are those times, where you are going home, and there is a guy with a cat, and, well…”

…And then what do you suppose happened? Mull it over while considering these other important contributions to the cats-on-transit category.

Post-holiday party Muni surprise

My company makes us play bingo at the holiday party in order to try to win our annual bonus. First-world problems, to be sure, but there you go.

A few weeks ago, I was talking with a coworker about the party the next day. Little did I know what I was in for.

“Get this—[friend in common] found a Golden Ticket in her bag the next day. I wonder if it was for one of the big prizes?! She’s hoping she can still redeem it…

The only thing I found in my bag was a business card with a picture of a half-naked, grinning, flexing man on it. Yep, the creeper on my bus ride home slipped that nice prize in.”

In a land way off of my zip code (ok, on the edge of 4th and King), our Twitter mistress Laura runs @caltraindiaries, where you can find these two quality haikus and more to start off your weekend. Laura also documents all cringe-worthy startup gossip and nail clipping you can overhear on your way down to suburbia.
