Original Metro map maker returns for Silver Line
Jun. 4, 2011 - Lance Wyman, 73, of New York designed the Metrorail system's map more than 30 years ago. Under a deal worth up to $50,000, the graphic designer has been hired to reinvent it. He'll have challenges, including adding on the new line to Dulles International Airport and integrating other changes to the map, without ruining its clean, classic look. Many Metro riders and officials at the transit agency are watching closely. Wyman is well known for designing symbols and logos for other spots in the District, including the National Zoo, the old Convention Center, the Library of Congress, and at kiosks maps along the National Mall.
