Posted by David of Broadway on Fri Jul 28 18:18:16 2006, in response to Re: 49th Street-Broadway, posted by J trainloco on Fri Jul 28 12:18:32 2006. Colors. Plural. There's a lot more variation when there are lots of little tiles in lots of colors that can shift around from station to station. On the IND, the station is blue, or red, or yellow, or green, or whatever -- and that's it. And between express stations, there's no variation whatsoever, not even in the color.81st Street maintains the IND style, with artwork added on. I like it a lot. It introduces some variety to an otherwise deathly boring line. I also happen to like Hoyt Street, although I suspect I'm in the minority. I like the color scheme. I don't mind having occasional stations in different styles. I can't imagine why anyone would want the entire 4th Avenue line in refrigerator tile style, since (a) it's ugly and (b) there's a lot less variety the stations on the line now than there is with the refrigerator tile removed. And who coined the 'refrigerator tile' name anyway? I've never seen a refrigerator covered in refrigerator tile. (Maybe the idea is that each panel of color is about the size of a refrigerator?) |
