The London Tube = Design Icon

The Tube is a symbol of London and it is part of its identity. These three design features are a registered trademark for London and they made it a world icon, simply unique.

  • The TUBE MAP designed by Harry Beck.
  • The logo, known as the ROUNDEL.
  • The JOHNSTON typology, used on posters and maps.

The Tube map was devised by Harry Beck, who created this design in 1931. Its schematic style makes a complex transport network easy to understand (it is schematic because it does not follow the distance scale).

This map design was imitated by all the underground and railway companies in the world.  The model is also used in other fields, such as aeronautics. The creator, Mr. Beck, was employed by the railway company. The first time he presented the map, it was rejected.

The Roundel is the underground's logo. Its circular design with a red, white, and blue stripe in the centre dates back to 1900. It was inspired by the posters of the Paris metro.

Finally, the trilogy is completed by the "Johnston" typology, which can be seen on the map and on all the Underground signage, extending its use to the Overground and the railways that are part of the TfL. This typology was especially designed for the tube.
