I want this as a MetroCard, with the circled 1/2/3 and 4/5/6 written in the usual NYC subway colors.


Looks like the author has it under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Unported License and so the work is to be used it its entirety only. So I guess if you do make a modification you can't distribute it.
