Today, once again an example of less is sometimes more, which should not to be confused with less is sometimes empty. The following poster series of the Turkish art directors Mehmet Gozetlik actually show nothing more than the top view of taxis from four world cities, namely London’s “black cab “(unfortunately threatened by extinction), the box taxi from Istanbul, the city mexico “vw beetle taxi” and of course the new york “yellowcab”. The latter may also be undergoing significant change in the year’s to come with a greener, more futuristic look.
Each taxi is as representative of their home cities as many other landmarks we’d likely associate with. The posters also offer a little bit of information regarding historical and present day taxi-fares, as well as some of the taxi commission notices throughout the years. Funny to think that there was one a time when you could smoke in a taxi, and disgusting to think that some countries still haven’t gotten around to that. Otherwise, why would one need to post a no spitting sign in a taxi? That’s just gross.
