Going Underground

To celebrate the 100th anniversary of the roundel (that's the symbol for London Underground and London’s transport system) Art On The Underground has commissioned 100 artists to make new works that celebrate this design classic.

Some of the works are conceptual, some employ graphic design and others are just plain weird.
