After decades of waiting, the metro of Thessaloniki has finally been built.Unfortunately I haven't gone to it yet since the bus is more convenient where I live, though it looks impressive from the photos I've seen, especially by Greek standards.Though I'm not sure what they were thinking with the logo(they paid 30 thousand euros for it btw)
>more than 10 meters undergroundcringe and soulless just like every new metro project
Miku Metro
>>2027012>Though I'm not sure what they were thinking with the logo(they paid 30 thousand euros for it btw)That smells of typical Greek corruption. Most likely scenario is that someone on the government has a cousin and the latter founded a shell corporation that "creates logos for other corporation" and they contracted them for 30k yuros of tax payer money, and that cousin only thing they had to do was draw the letter μ badly.
>exact same wayfinding signs as in Athensdon't know if that's lazy or a good way to save money.
>>2027055Why waste a new design on a literally where city?
>>2027060>literally where cityThessaloniki is the second biggest city in Greece after Athens, and used to be even bigger than it in the past.Every local major power wanted a piece of it.
>>2027025Is that to mean the only worthwile metros are ones mde using cut&cover?
>>2027117Modern Greece does not have a single relevant place, you bringing up history says it all really. Athens is basically indistinguishable from Gaza.
>>2027286Not necessarily but I wouldn't wanna spend 5 minutes all the time getting from street level to platform in a hilariously oversized station that seems more like a gadget than a proper metro station.
>>2027012> Though I'm not sure what they were thinking with the logoIt's meant to be a clever design that looks like both a 'M' and a 'μ', but I don't see the point since they could have just used a 'M' and foreigners would have interpreted it as a capital 'm' and greeks as a capital 'μ'.This trend of "clever" letters that can be interpreted in two ways should have been left to die in the early 2000s.
