Competition for the best scheme of the Moscow metro

The Department of Transport held a contest for the new version of the Moscow metro scheme. Three works reached the final (on PDF links with a dozen megabytes each on a very slow Depression website):
  1. Artemy Lebedev Studio Scheme .
  2. The scheme of Ilya Birman.
  3. The design of the RIA Novosti design center.

Now, anyone can vote for their favorite version on the website of the Department. Voting will last until January 31.

Stories about some stages of work on schemes:
  1. The story of Ludwig Bystronovsky + official description on the website of the studio.
  2. The story of Ilya Birman (the only one of the three participants who officially posted the final version of the scheme and the story about it; for example, on the website of the Art. Lebedev Studio, the old version is still hanging).
  3. The story of Anton Mizinov.

The stories are also useful because they reveal the hidden details of the schemes themselves. For example, the posts of Ludwig from the “Art. Lebedev Studio” allowed the colors of the lines to be adjusted so that they are now much easier to “recognize” by people with different degrees of color perception disorders (for example, in the scheme of Ilya Birman it’s almost impossible to distinguish between ring and red and green branches, as well as orange and green). On Habré was a separate topic , which invited to make adjustments to everyone.

Since the Depression website opens once in a while, I post here smaller versions of maps (however, I strongly recommend trying to download PDF in high resolution through the links at the beginning of the post):

Option "Art. Lebedev Studio":


Option Ilya Birman:


Option "RIA news":


UPD: The Depression website seems to be down; The promised opening at 13:00 is no vote yet.

UPD 2: the vote was opened , but it is strange that, for example, a link to the description of the “Lebedev Studio's” scheme description leads to the old version of the scheme (the scheme itself, while the new version is shown in the voting version).
