18 Fabulous Redesigns of NYC’s Iconic MetroCard
from 20 year old student and graphic designer Melanie Chernock
Co.Design writes that Chernock has designed 25 MetroCards so far, many of which use custom typography to winningly evoke a different aspect of the city: There’s one for gay-friendly Chelsea (“MetroCard” written in glitter), and showbizzy Times Square (“MetroCard” written in marquee lights). There’s one for Little Italy (“MetroCard written in pasta), Alphabet City (“MetroCard” written in alphabet pasta), and, of course, the Meatpacking District (“MetroCard” written in raw meat).
Chernock made all designs by hand, then photographed the results.
“The Meatpacking District card was pretty gross to make. I kind of regretted it after I started and felt a little crazy, but I think it was worth in the end,” Chernock told Co.Design’s Suzanne Labarre.

A lucky man named Bill Magee tells Maria Popova:
“Back in 2000, a teenage Fiona Apple fan named Bill Magee decided to approach the singer after a gig and hand her a letter. In it, the 16-year-old spoke of his school’s gay-straight alliance — of which he was a member — and asked if she could possibly reply with a sentence or two in its support.
The next week, the following handwritten letter was delivered by FedEx to Bill’s house.”
