I'm still not sold on this version of the map. And more than anything, it's the apparent lack of craftsmanship and attention to detail that bugs me most.

Hyphens sometimes have a space on either side, sometimes not.

The sign at the bottom warns us against "litering" - really??!!

Why are some station addresses given with an "@" symbol between streets and others with an "&"?

Why are "Road" and "Boulevard" spelled out, but "Avenue" isn't?

Why are the "H" and "P" symbols the same color, making them almost impossible to distinguish from each other? Make one a circle, or reverse the text out of a gray square for one, or use color to differentiate them (blue for parking, red for hospital).

If I - one lonely little designer working on my version of the map in my spare time - can pay attention to these details, then so should Mr. Wyman's studio.
