On the Twitter frontlines the other day, I came across the image above. It was created by designer Robert Padbury, a self-proclaimed “pixel provocateur.” It’s slick, for sure. But does it in any way match Muni itself? It reminds us more of packaging for exotic candies than a beleaguered urban public transit agency logo.

We’ve already seen people tweak the Muni worm, as noted in our post about Jeremiah’s handiwork.

What do you think? Does the Muni worm even need to be redesigned? Should it be scrapped altogether in favor of something more … now?

Head over to Muni Time Capsule to learn about the site that will steal the rest of your afternoon, Old SF.

Our friends @theCara and @supertamsf alerted us to the Quake Quiz SF site, where you’re presented with a choice of scenarios (including at the Transamerica Pyramid and La Taqueria …) and asked what you’d do there when an earthquake hits. The ladies also pointed out the rat on the tracks in the Muni scenario, which, WHAT? This ain’t New York City!

So, in light of Tuesday’s East Coast earthquake, we thought we’d go over the earthquake-preparation basics in case you’re aboard a Muni vehicle when the big one (or even a littler, but nonetheless violent one) strikes.

Somehow, when faced with the multiple choice questions, we resisted choosing, “Keep listening to your music until the train reaches its destination.”

I mean, really. And this is post-quake:

Visit the Quake Quiz SF site, take the quiz, laugh at the rat, and be prepared!

Whoa! What happened in front of Orchid Salon? Maybe the good people of that establishment know? @THYMWYA Instagrammed the photo without much commentary: “This is broken and sideways #sfmuni”
