This is my all time favorite vegan sandwich:
Marinate a portobello mushroom cap in BBQ sauce and Italian dressing. Throw it on the grill for a bit and then place it on a whole wheat bun with some vegan coleslaw. Vegan coleslaw is easy to make or you can usually find it at a natural foods market. This is what I always bring to cookouts and it's amazing.

Some kind of baguette or crusty bread
Bake a sweet potato (in advance) and slice it, chunk it, or smoosh it in a way that pleases you
roasted red peppers, fresh cooked or from a jar
pine nuts
olive oil
(Being a non-vegan I like to spread large amounts of goat cheese on the crusty bread before sandwich preparation, but it's equally tasty without.)
spread olive oil on bread
layer items onto both sides of the bread
place in toaster oven
toast until bread is crustier
consume.

Also, you can sub out a lot of things in the place of meat. There are tons of recipes for homemade veggie or lentil burgers and then you can load those up with yummy toppings. Tempeh is also a good substitute on a sandwich. If you've never had a tempeh reuben before, then you should try one. I visit this website a lot and they have a ton of sandwich recipes.

Favorite of mine: fresh heirloom tomato slices with lots fresh basil on good bread with vegenaise.
If you have more time, add tempeh bacon (you can buy this, I think it is called fakin' bacon) and baked tofu for a club.
To bake the tofu, press the tofu first and slice for 6 pieces. Brush on marinade of 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 teaspoons ginger and 2 tablspoons sesame oil. Bake at 400 for 15 minutes each side.
If you want to make your own tempeh bacon, there is a recipe here.

Good bread is totally key. You can add hummus to just about any sandwich (or maybe it's just a fave of mine). Think outside the box with the veggies: you can put just about anything into a sandwich and have it be great, including but not limited to sprouts, potatos (cooked of course!), fruits, pickled crap, sauerkraut, etc.
Also key: roasted red peppers, grilled veggies (zucchini or somersquash or both are easy enough), sun dried tomatos, pesto, avocado, olive spread.

My favorite is nutty whole grain bread slathered with hummus and topped with sliced avocado and sliced tomato with a dash of salt and pepper.
Some other good fillings:
marinated baked tofu
arugula and other spicy greens
olive tapenade
guacamole
marinated roasted vegetables (peppers, squash, portobellos, etc)
garlic roasted to the point of near liquification (spread on toasted pita and top)
Also, re: plinth's suggestion, you could try it with Tofutti cream cheese. It's actually really good as substitutes go.

One good way to make sure a veggie sandwich doesn't seem plain is to use balsamic vinegar and/or olive oil in just the right proportions, to accent and wake things up, not overwhelm. Fresh herbs too, such as basil, cilantro, parsley, whatever you like. A pesto mayo.
Sprouts and shaved carrot are often nice additions that add bulk, texture, and flavor to whatever you're making. Cucumber is always a fresh, tasty, crispy addition. A layer of raw baby spinach goes with a lot of stuff. Maybe some green or black olive slices. Sunflower seeds if you've got some goop like mayo or pesto or whatever to catch them so they don't fall out. Same with slivered almonds or craisins. These are mostly just accents though.
For something substantial, I love a pita stuffed with falafel, baked/roasted seasoned eggplant (made ahead of time and stored for casual use), hummus, finely diced tomato and cucumber, parsley, and some kind of drizzle, be it tahini or your favorite goop. A little hot sauce if you like. Lettuce or sprouts as some optional green filler. Falafel may be more involved than you care to get for a casual sandwich, so extra hummus or baba ganouj can be easy spreadable substitutes. I steam the pita in a damp paper towel for just a little bit in the microwave first so it's more pliable and less prone to break.
Nthing avocado. I like avocado, tomato, (cheese would go here in my version), mayo, and a drizzle of balsamic on lightly toasted bread.

Peanut butter and jelly.
One of my favorite things ever is tomato and avocado on toast. Mostly excellent with really good homegrown or farmers market tomatoes. Toast a thick slice of good crusty french bread. I'm partial to sourdough, but it's not necessary. Lay some avocado slices down, and then top with tomato slices. Sprinkle with salt and fresh ground pepper. Yum yum yum.

I love to make "chicken/tuna" salad. I mash up chickpeas and mix them with mayo and some diced carrots/celery/onions. Add in your spices (salt, pepper, parsley, mustard powder, paprika and some pickle relish in my case) and then chill. On toasted bread with some lettuce, it's one of my favorite sandwhich fillings.

1. Marinate some sliced sweet onion, squash, zucchini, red bell pepper in olive oil, white wine, garlic, salt and fresh herbs. Grill. Serve on French bread with a spread made from vegan mayo, Dijon mustard, parsley or tarragon and lemon juice.
2. Make a vegan omelet in an 8 x 8 inch pan, for 4 sandwiches, and serve with sliced tomato:
12 ounces firm, water-pack tofu, drained
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon mirin or water
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast flakes
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
Preheat oven to 400 F.
Combine tofu, olive oil and mirin or water in a food processor until creamy. Transfer to a small bowl and stir in remaining ingredients. Spread batter into a well-oiled 8 x 8 inch pan. Bake for 25 minutes or until firm and golden.
Omelet will puff up in the oven, then fall as it cools.
Cut into 4 squares.
3. Make a bean salad from a can of rinsed beans, half of a red bell pepper, diced, and a quarter of a red onion, diced. Add some jalapeno, oil and vinegar and lime juice (not too much - it will make the bread soggy), salt and pepper, and serve it in pita bread.

My favorite:
marinated, baked tofu (just regular/asian flavoring, or any flavor you like - you can buy it premade sometimes, or make your own);
sourdough bread (actually I love the rosemary sourdough bread from Whole Foods here);
fresh, juicy, summer, farmers' market red ripe tomatoes - these are key;
Lots of lettuce - 2-3 layers;
Veganaise (optional) - (fake mayo);
dijon mustard.
A key here is to put the tofu on bottom, tomato in the middle, lettuce on top. This protects the bread from the juiciness of the tomato and helps keep the sandwich from falling apart. Of course, if the sandwich does fall apart, that's OK. It just means it's extra good.

Not a vegetarian but I regularly make sandwiches with slices of avocado, grilled eggplant, tomatoes, red peppers, baby spinach and so many crunchy, crunchy sprouts (mung bean, alfalfa, or broccoli). These all go happily with gobs of any flavor hummus. In fact I've seen vegans have a lot of fun with spreads. I googled these for a starting point. Tofutti's soy cream cheese is just as good if not better than the real thing, in my opinion. Back when I was a vegetarian, I longed most wistfully for hot dogs, so I made lots of vegan frankfurters with sauerkraut, tomato sauce, brown mustard and onions. Mmm and vegan kielbasa, which are in a whole other league.
But you asked for mindblowing, and I can't think of anything more holy epicurean than a Nutella and banana toasted-wheat sandwich, so I present you a recipe for Not-tella.

Giant sub bread. Seared green peppers, alfalfa sprouts, deep fried tempeh slices, fire roasted red peppers, sun dried tomatoes diced and sprinkled around. Sauce of real mustard, minced shallots, balsamic vinegar, thyme, and olive oil. I like some vegan mayo on the bread.

I layer thin slices of banana (I cut them longways), granny smith apples (I cut the slices into strips, too, and lay them at a 90 degree angle), and top it with strips of melty warm onions (I cook them whole in bouillon until they almost fall apart), again at a 90 degree angle. I like these through a good hearty bread - the seedier the better.
My best sandwich tip is to cut thin slices of tomatos, and stagger them around the bread. This reduces the amount of chunks that drop out and somehow increases the tomatoeyness, and makes sure every bite is tomatotastic.
My second best tip is to put both slices of bread in a single widemouth toaster slot so that the edges and 1 side of each piece toasts up, but the insides of the bread are still untoasted and ready to soak up the flavor.

Try tabouleh, hummus, (feta, optional), tomatoes, and red onion (drizzle with balsamic reduction)
Or peanut butter, jelly and your choice of crunchy vegan potato chips
or falafel, hummus, sun-dried tomato
+1 on nut butter and crunchy sliced fruit like apples, with some glazed nuts
dark chocolate bar on crusty french bread.
As a kid I loved mustard and sweet pickle relish (potato chips optional) on white bread
A good balance of crunchy/creamy is a must. Good bread is essential.
And, as always, the laws of sandwich physics must be obeyed!

Lots of great answers, I'll just emphasize herbed whole-grain bread - something baked with dill, rosemary, garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, etc. - as an essential ingredient for savory sandwiches. Also, natural peanut butter (just ground peanuts, nothing else) and grapes cut in half (or other fresh fruit, like strawberries) on whole-grain bread makes an amazingly tasty open-face sandwich.

Nth-ing the nut butter/fruit idea, but don't forget to add the lettuce and grape-seed mayonnaise. Cucumber slices mix well with fruit, too. My favorite addition is a little Bubbie's sauerkraut, to taste, for the tang.
We also like to half-toast the bread, stacking pairs in the toaster oven, but we put the soft sides out for comfort.

Black bean patties
Avocado

Tomato
Barbecue sauce
Whole wheat bun
For the black bean patties: Mix can of black beans (leaving some of the liquid) with sauteed chopped onions and garlic, cumin and chili powder and salt to taste, plus enough flour to thicken into a paste. Shape into small patties with a spoon, and fry in a pan with a small amount of olive oil until they're a little crispy on each side.
Tear lettuce, slice red onion and tomato, cut avocado into strips or mash it up a little, and assemble the deliciousness!

Response by poster: Here's one I recently discovered:
* soft white sandwich bread; I use potato-rosemary
* hummus
* alfalfa sprouts
* avocado
* honey mustard, or Dijon mustard+honey
I don't usually like vegan sandwiches, but this one blew my mind!
(Apparently, I'm not the first to discover the wonder of avocado and honey mustard together.)

This thread is pretty old, but my favorite sandwich is:
one slice of whole wheat bread
a thick layer of garlic hummus
a layer of sliced/smooshed avocado
a layer of thin tofurky slices
a thin layer of better than cream cheese
another slice of whole wheat bread
Holy moly. moly. moly. I crave this sandwich almost daily. I only give in a few times a week. (;
