Wed, 24 Oct 2007 17:23:14 +0000 http://kitsunenoir.com/blog/2007/10/23/nyc-taxi-redesign/#comment-16554 Thanks everyone! It's funny, the people commenting on the actual article posted things like: "Why don’t we stop worrying about decorating these nasty fuel guzzling Fords and get rid of them for electric powered clean cars? Painting flowers on the hood does not make them GREEN " and "That’s true, but those bright, pastel flower shapes will look wicked cool under the several feet of water that will be inundating Manhattan sometime soon. Like lilypads, only manmade!" While I'm all for cleaner running cars and helping the environment,I think it's funny that people didn't care about the redesign much. They're more concerned with the doom and gloom of how our wold <i>could</i> turn out! If New York is going to be underwater, it should go out in style! haha... Thanks everyone!

I've always thought those uhaul designs were fun and interesting, and you definitely keep your eyes open for them. why wouldn't that work for taxis too? variable patterns like this would ultimately make taxis more interesting and identifiable. kind of like the uhauls with the “interesting factoids” about animals, places, technologies, etc… i think this idea would really work.
