My intuition tells me they'll do a glossy 3-way folded leaflet explaining the service (like what they do for bikes and boats) and the map [tweaked] will appear in that.
If they do put up poster-sized maps, they can use the space in the stations where the ticket office used to be...
Why the big void in the north-west corner? Really surprised the Met line isn't one included.
None of the "sub-surface" lines have been included (nor has the Bakerloo or the Drain). This does indeed leave a hole in NW London. I understand there are practical reasons for the selection of the lines to have night services - the Bakerloo presumably because TfL doesn't own the track north of Queens Park, but according to the article on London Reconnections

On the contrary: only three of the eleven Underground stations with SE postcodes are not served by the night service!
You could design a special night tube map, but why bother - apart from the typeface this map is perfectly clear, and anyone familair with the shape of the day map will quickly recognise, for instance, which parts of the Central Line have been favoured (clue - no stations outside Greater London are served)

I suspect that the night tube service pattern will be simple with the small exception of the Northern where the northbound service splits at Camden.
there is absolutely no link or dependency between the ticket office closure plan and night tube.
This was pure spin from TfL at the time of the launch of Night Tube to try and gain support for the closure plan.
Looking at the original: why is Hammersmith changed to a blue tick when it's supposed to have "white" wheelchair access?
The met has been split into four different colours (purple, yellow, orange and pink) in the last sixty years. The District could readily be rendered as two colours (with some doubt as to which of the two lines the Wimbledon-Tower Hill line would be shown), and the Northern will doubtless be given two colours when it is split.

I have made Mainline stations have a grey national rail mark, as they don't have overnight trains, with the exception of the Gatwick Express.
I've taken out the bends and clutter, as per DG's suggestion.
Comments welcome...
Night tube map was published (and not updated since it was just a preview) at the time when Kilburn's lift was in operations, hence the difference.
I like it.
you asked for comments, so I would suggest you could save some space by closing up the spaces between stations on both lines west of Stratford, to allow the stations east of Stratford a bit more space - (this might mean running the Vic Line at 45 degeress all the way to walthmstow.
You could also straighten out the western end of the river, and perhaps the far east of the Central Line. the latter could be a straight line at 45 degrees all the way from Liverpool Street.
I have made a second version which has had a further round of simplification.

I have removed the 45 degree lines from the Central Line totally, and from the Heathrow section of the Piccadilly Line.
The Stanmore to Bond Street section is now JUST a 45 degree line.
The Northern Line runs just north-sound.
Harry Beck would be proud!!!
You could make better use of the empty space in the bottom left corner by running the Piccy in a straight line diagonally from Green Park to Heathrow (and straighten out the river as well)
Picadilly Circus is shown as an interchange.
The East london Line LO is surely tailer made as it serves so many busy late night spots.
The DLR would also help SE London which is still reliant on awful, slow, infrequent buses. 2-3 hours to get home is not uncommon from Camden to Bexley/Greenwich/Bromley boroughs. I suppose you can now go N Greenwich and enjoy a long and slow bus from there. Plus as canary Wharf continues to grow and more late night/early morning staff work there and night spots open the DLR link to it being 24 hr would be a great benefit.

I literally just deleted out everything Undergroundy from that map (and did a few subtle tweaks like changing the boundary station in the key to one I hadn't deleted!), and as you say that's really what that Night Tube map looked like had been done - perhaps because the decision to announce it was rushed forward for spin purposes when announcing ticket office closures?
I wouldn't be surprised if, nearer the time, we got something more like Briantist's effort - I'd guess more like v1 than v2, but who knows?
