Musing of the month: January 2025

Hello!

Another month, another musing.

Happy New Year readers! (Breaking the Larry David rule but who cares)

Today, I wanted to share two recent MTA ads that I saw that struck me.

The first ad was so clever. It utilizes the iconic "I ❤️ NY" logo to show that New York needs organ donors. This ad is simple with its message and uses another advertisement for the city itself.

The second ad is a basic ad from the MTA's new campaign called "Courtesy Counts"

These are new banner ads across the entire MTA. These emphasize an increase in train courtesy. Meanwhile, their public favor is declining steadily, with ever-increasing toll increases. These ads don't erase those feelings, but one must acknowledge their message and how well done they are.

Well, that's all for me in this post. I hope your 2025 is filled with prosperity and happiness. I hope to add more posts all year long and get this blog rolling.

See you in the next post!
