TfL Safety Campaign – An Iconic London Identity with an Andrew Hudson Spin
Andrew Hudson brought his bold, textural style to Transport for London’s Safety Campaign, designing a striking series of 18 posters that reimagined TfL’s visual heritage while delivering important safety messages to London commuters.
TFL wanted energy and creativity but with absolute clarity, so every decision balanced bold visuals with functional legibility – crucial for a safety campaign.
“Balancing creative energy with legibility – these are safety posters, so the message has to read in seconds”
This project also inspired Andrew’s personal series, Eyes Down. While travelling on the Tube, he began sketching commuters absorbed in their phones – modern moments of stillness that contrast the city’s energy. These sketches are now evolving into a series of paintings on canvas, capturing what Andrew calls “a snapshot of our times” – much like his TfL posters document the city’s present-day visual identity.
"The greatest reward of this project is knowing the designs will become part of TfL’s poster archive and will be seen across London for years to come"
Cool things, once or twice a month – or your time back.

Six years ago we started with a simple idea: artists come first. Not sometimes. Not when it’s convenient. Always.
Everything we did came from that. Every decision, every collaboration, every piece of work.
We built something around the people who make the work, not the people who sell it. A loose, global collective of individuals who didn’t fit neatly anywhere else, and were never meant to.
Difference wasn’t a problem to solve. It was the point. And the work only worked because we trusted the people making it. Completely. No interference. No bullshit.
To the artists: this was yours. It always was. Every project we’re proud of has your mark all over it. You made it matter.
To the clients who got it, who backed instinct over caution, who chose something real over something safe, thank you.
The Different Folk was never ours to keep. It belongs to the artists, and they’re still out there. Find them. Work with them. Pay them properly.
