Some more wonderfully designed signage from Tokyo. Most of these were taken in the Harojuku area, a few are from Shibuya. The type and design of the subway system is incredible, so well thought out. More to come….

Wow, that “HP*annex” looks amazing! And the last image here (the red sign) – perfectly balanced. It’s unbelievable…
the “1 O” one is my fav
really nice photos, great colors.
I like “Bukta” , its so retro.
HP*annex looks like photoshop work , not like photography 🙂
That red square, Tokyo apartment cafe, is really nice.
I would say Japanese design is pretty amazing! 🙂
i am pretty much amazed by the pictures you took. they want me to see tokio more than ever before. can’t wait to read/see more of your stories/pictures. :))))
How much photoshop manipulation went into these? They all look incredible. You have a great eye, Scott!

So…I’m pretty sure this is my favorite set so far!
Here mate what camera did you use for this? The colours are very strong and dark, was it a lomo of some sort?
Inspiring pics… Any plans on selling prints?
Hi!
I just discovered your blog through http://ilovetypography.com, and I’ll definitely be adding you to my RSS reader!
Thanks for posting these signs. They certainly are an inspiration to visit Tokyo! The last sign posted is absolutely amazing as an example of simple beauty.
Also, your music is really great. I’m listening to the streaming versions of the tracks on http://tychomusic.com right now.
So very nice!
Scott, I know you get a lot of comments to read, but I just wanted to say THANK YOU for sharing these shots – I’m very very inspired by the minimal design and colors in this airport. If you find more design like this in Japan, please share it!
Thanks,
Ben Blood
What amazing colours!! thanks for sharing!!
Thx for those amazing shots. Wich camera do you use ? Nikon colorpix ?
Have a great travel…
wow…gorgeous shots. can’t wait to get to japan someday.
Nice. Can I ask what camera you used? The colors look like it came from a Lomo but I’m not really a photographer.
Scott,
Have you seen this article about a guy in the Tokyo subway that creates beautiful typography with colored sticky tape?
