Wyman, who has been described as a "rock star" of graphic arts,^[1] , made his reputation when he designed the logo for the 1968 Summer Olympic Games. He has also designed icons for museums, and individualized signs for buildings at the National Zoo. Perhaps his most enduring design is the stylized route map he devised for the Washington Metro in the mid-1970s, showing routes, stations, transfer points, and certgain landmarks in a clear fashion, although not with distances to scale. In 2011, Wyman was called on to deisgn a new Metro map, able to depict planned new lines and route orientations, as well as some station names that have been expanded to the point of being cumbersome.^[2]
