Fantastic Interpretations of the London Underground Map

To celebrate the 150th Birthday of the London Underground, Design Boom has put together a fantastic collection of different interpretations of the famous map, which was originally designed by Harry Beck in 1933 (on which the present day map is mainly based).

The collection includes a geographically accurate map by Mark Noad, and a tube map of the Milky Way by Samuel Arbesman.

See your world turn upside down with Google Maps

This is a great video produced by Venables Bell & Partners to promote Google and its host of mapping services by creating an oversized labyrinth game as a handcrafted, real life version of Google Maps.

This was built by VB&P and 1st Ave Machine and  the video shows players navigating around a complex city scape - dropping into burger joints, barbers and other palces along the route.

This is very clever and a must see.



Plus, if you like this then also take a look at the previewed Google maps game which lets you play the labyrinth game online.

Have fun!
