¶ The Poorman soups up the Bayeux Tapestry for Our Times.
¶ Shakespeare ancient and modern: an excerpt from Troilus and Cressida given twice, once with modern English pronunciation and once in a conjectural reconstruction of English as it was spoken in Shakespeare's day. I'm not persuaded; the old is as easily understood as the new. But it does sound gamy and streetwise. (Thanks, Édouard.)

I think I like Tokyo's metro sign the best

Wow, love the metro logos site. I must say, I think Boston's MBTA logo is one of the more elegant, simple logos, and it caught on to such an extent that people simply call our system "The T." (Unfortunately, that moniker is applied inconsistently -- many seem to insist that it should only refer to subway and streetcar trains, even though the MBTA also runs most bus and all commuter rail services. Even more confusingly/misinformedly, some people here insist on calling trains "T's.") But the logo itself is often incorrectly and inelegantly reproduced, even sometimes by the MBTA itself.
