Metros and Subways
Metros and Subways are two names for a type of high-capacity public transport that runs on rails in urban settings, usually below ground, but sometimes on ground level or on elevated tracks. Metros have numerous stations strategically positioned in the city, usually within a kilometer of one-another, in order to facilitate commuting and access to the city.

Why are there no subways from Manhattan to the metro New York airports?
You can take the subway to JFK. You take the A train to the Howard Beach Station, or the E or the J-Z to Sutphin Boulevard/Archer Avenue, then get the shuttle, called the AirTrain, which drops you off inside the JFK terminals.
LaGuardia is not accessible by subway, but there are MTA-NYCTA (Metro Transit Authority-New York City Transit Authority) buses that go there. NYCTA is the transit authority for New York City, and they are part of the MTA, which is the New York State transit authority.
Newark Airport is in New Jersey, so it obviously wouldn't be accessible by MTA-NYCTA transit (neither the subway nor the buses).

What is bad about the London Underground logo?
It's limitations may be that it is designed to be a recognizable symbol like McDonald's for ease of use by sight but it's flaw may be that some visitors are not familiar with the logo. British Tourist Board and others do loads of work to acquaint people with the logo. I say it has worked very well.
