Muni Diaries

The city’s online project “Improve SF” announced an “SFMTA Design Challenge,” where SFMTA “invites you to co-create its identity for the future.” So what are we designing?

Join in the centennial celebration by submitting and voting on design concepts that reflect this character of the SFMTA as it enters its second century…Submit a concept in the form of logo, tagline, and color scheme. This is a unique opportunity for all creative members of the San Francisco community to participate and gain access to a broad audience. Once selected, the SFMTA will produce your winning concept.

But worry not, the beloved Muni worm is here to stay. We asked SFMTA spokesperson Murray Bond, who told us that the SFMTA Design Challenge only applies to the SFMTA brand, and not Muni. Confused yet?

For reference, you can see the SFMTA brand on their official page.
