Holster® | Metro Masthead

Just for fun

Metro Masthead

Metro masthead on paper

Everyone’s favourite commuter paper, Metro ran a competition recently to send in designs for a new masthead. I only actually noticed it two days before the deadline was due and I couldn’t quite work out if it was a serious request or one of those 2012-esque ’send us in your design ideas for light-hearted spread fodder’ things, but it sounded like a bit of fun so I thought I’d have a go at it. As those who know me will attest, I do have an unhealthy interest in the seat patterns you find on modes of public transport so I used those as inspiration…

…and I’m afraid I couldn’t resist it…

If you like seat patterns too, you can join me in collecting them. Never heard back from Metro. Strange that…

Lovely that. Nice idea too

Nick

There are a selection of example logos on the Metro website currently, but the actual winner is due to be published in Metro newspaper on Mon 28th Jan. I guess the Metro website will be properly updated afterwards.

Paul

Neat. We like.

Richard

Thanks guys, I liked it too…

Michelle

I think this is the best logo for metro. it looks modern, it stands out and it makes sense. not like the other logos they had up, i was getting bored of looking at them. Makes me think what were they actually looking at? they probably skimmed through a few entries and picked out a few without looking.

I wish I saw that competition too, as usual, I’m always too late. I like your idea though.

Very nice masthead, pity the contents of the rag is such cr*p. Like you flickr site too btw, found all this via Design Weak(sic)

i might be a little late (you don’t have *any* date here on your site?), but your design is really really nice. and like someone else said, it makes sense too. good work!
