The video titled "Stefan Sagmeister: Yes, design can make you happy" features the NYC subway in a very creative fashion. Watch the first minute or so o get the background, and then skip to the eigth minute in the video to see how replacing a couple of decals in the subway can get a few smiles out of people.

I hate to be a curmudgeon, but the "unhappy" signs convey useful and important information. In the event of an emergency, someone could actually get hurta s a result of the exercise. Also, if the "happy" signs were as commonplace as the standard signs they covered up, I'm sure people would find them just as boring.
