What single image would you use to represent the Roosevelt Light Rail Station? Or rather, what three adjectives and three landmarks you would use to describe the station area?
Sound Transit is developing “pictograms” to identify the new transit stations that are opening in 2016 and beyond. You can help by completing their Pictogram Questionnaire, open now through Monday, April 14.
First section of the Sound Transit Pictogram Questionnaire (click to start the survey).
From the survey:
Pictograms are intended to be station identification symbols for non-English audiences, primarily those that use a non-Roman based alphabet. To be effective, Sound Transit’s Link light rail station pictograms must meet these requirements:
- Simple in form, and are an easily recognizable symbol
- Readable at many scales; including signage, print material, online and mobile devices
- Are individually distinguishable and read as a family
The pictogram may reflect the nature of the environment: neighborhoods, landmarks, geographic locations and may include points of interest around the stations.
Existing station pictograms — Westlake Station all the way south to SeaTac/Airport Station — were developed from points of interest around the station and in the community. Those points of interest were connected like stars in a constellation, and an image representing the station was developed.
The International District Station is a dragon. Pioneer Square is a ship. SoDo is an anvil. Westlake is… a tiara? I’ve always been curious and a little confused by these pictograms and admit to being pretty amused by this extremely thoughtful process (which we’ve heard that Sound Transit is NOT continuing for the new stations). Check out the “Stellar Connections” brochure explaining these transpo-constellations (1.1 MB PDF).
The University Link extension (Capitol Hill and University of Washington stations) are expected to open in the first quarter of 2016). The Northgate Link extension (U District, Roosevelt, and Northgate stations) are expected to be open for service in 2021. Approximately 8,000 daily riders are projected to board the train by 2030.
The other station on the pictogram survey is Angle Lake Station, set to open in 2016 south of the SeaTac/Airport Station at S 200th St.
I’m picturing something with a calendar and lots of $’s.
As I sat in the Louisiana Super Dome and watched Brett Favre at age 40 battle my
New Orleans Saints in the NFC Championship game, it really proved to me that age is only a number.
The great thing about them though is obviously they are a tremendous build
quality and with such a timeless style you can get
away with wearing these for years to come.
As your village grows, you need to explore uncharted territories for Gold and Wood which are the 2 key resources you will require in start of the game (
there is also Stone resource, which you discover later in the game ).
I’m truly enjjoying the design and layout of your website.
It’s a ery easy onn the eyes which makes it much more enjoyable for me to come here and visit
more often. Did you hire out a developer to create your
theme? Fantastic work!
