I know Massimo and once I asked him to design it for me with his hands.
I hold that stuff as my most precious thing.

some of them are still glued to the subway map frames, sitting there under the new laminated ones. saw one the other day when an MTA worker was changing maps. grabbed the old one from him—but not the vignelli.

Met him once on a group studio tour in college. Called him out over something related to pushpin that he kept swearing was correct, can't honestly remember what it was at the moment. I was trying to be a smart ass since he was supposed to be this messiah of design and was messing up his design history. He ended up embarrassing the shit out of me in front of my whole class and his entire studio. Later, when I was outside smoking a cigarette during break, one of my professors said something like, "Thanks for saying that, I've been biting my tongue for the last 20 years..." Apparently said professor used to work under him.
Ended up with an easy A for that class, and never had to explain myself to the professor when I rolled in wasted on a Monday morning.
That said, I've never paid him attention again after that incident. Fuck his map.
