This collection of the TTC subway pin was designed by Matt Blackett and to my surprise, it was a merchandised that was not associated to TTC in any way (over 60,000 of these pins where sold in the market since it launched). These pins are a great way to explore all the different subways stations since the background tiles featured in the pins are the actual tiles used in that particular station. Even though there are some criticisms about how our subway station resembles public washrooms, I still believe that these tile patterns are the key in distinguishing different stations from each other. The subway pins are a unique way of bringing a piece of your very own community with you while traveling to different destinations (especially if you live by a subway station).

When I first saw these buttons in the daily Metro, I was shocked because I had a similar idea. I wanted to take pictures of each station without using Photoshop and simply pasting them together as a collage in the shape of the subway line layout. These buttons are also great because individuals can purchase them and represent the stations that they like best. The buttons say a lot about the people in Toronto and those who appreciate the Toronto Transit System. Personally, I would love to receive these as a gift!

Love it!
I am one of the producers of the first annual Green Living Show in Toronto (April 27-29,2007), and would like the opportunity to speak to the designer of the button designer to promote their concept at the show.
Looking for an opportunity to make some money?
