Background

The subway (on which the signs in the series focus) began operating in London in 1863. And since then it has actually been the main solution in the largest and most densely populated cities in the world.
Subway stations are underground, and to prevent a feeling of suffocation from being indoors, the stations have been designed accordingly. Some of the stations excel in their design, and some are dedicated to a particular theme. For example, the Concorde Metro station in Paris has a Declaration of Human and Civil Rights enacted in the French Revolution on the walls of the station

Names and hallmarks

In addition, the external signs indicating the location of the stations are also used as a hallmark, and some have become a cultural icon: Paris , London , Budapest .
