NYC Condom Initiative
There’s just one problem with the NYC condom program: the colors of their lettering don’t match the actual subway line colors:
The colors should actually look something more like this:
There’s no O or Y line, so I substituted the nearest I could find, the 1/2/3 for O and 7 for Y. Note how much uglier the actual real subway colors are. Makes me want to redesign all of NYC’s subway colors. Or just take them from their new condom. The old colors don’t match!

As I understand, the MTA didn’t allow the actual colors to be used because it infringed on their trademark.
