Bombay Manhole Cover

I stepped on a great piece of design last week. This manhole cover has that classic it factor. The badge is balanced and the typography remains legible after 35 years. And that strange balloon shape in the center, I really like that too.

As part of a practice with texture, I replicated it digitally.

MCGB stands for Municipal Corporation of Greater Bombay (the city changed its name to Mumbai in 1995).
