One thing that connects all humans no matter their nationality, race or gender, is the need to use the toilet from time to time. This is why we get to see cool bathroom signs from all over the world.
This photo was taken in china, and for those of us who can’t really read Chinese characters, they added two figures who seem inspired by Chinese calligraphy. Anyone can look at these two images and understand which bathroom is which, and that’s all that matters.
Donuts for All
Calling all dessert lovers! This signage is so clever for a bakery bathroom. We love the pop art style, and there’s no questioning who goes where….while somehow also kind of making us want a donut….or maybe an eclair!
Now, this is what we call good branding. If your business deals with something specific, why not go all the way with the decorations! We get the feeling this is a bathroom situation Homer Simpson would 100% approve of.
African Pride
We are completely living for these African-themed bathroom signs. These toilets can be found at a zoo in East Sussex, England. We have a feeling these bathroom stalls are right next to the section of the zoo where you can find all of the animals that originally reside in Africa.
On the right, you can see a woman wearing her tribe's traditional clothing, while on the other side, there's a man sporting his gender outfit. Who knew the trip to the bathroom would be educational?
Bucks and Does
Sometimes, simple does the trick. You don’t need too much detail to send a clear message. This cafe in Vienna, Austria operates under the less is more philosophy when it comes to their signage. These simple characters are perfectly representative of men and women while using imagery from the animal kingdom.
Whatever you got goin’ on, you can easily choose your stall with no words and no fuss! Also, we find this one super cute, don't you?
Nuts & Bolts
Think about it for a second…this is pretty well thought out. Let’s take a closer look, shall we? First, we have the nut and the bolt. We already know these are often identified as male vs. female hardware, just like on a battery!
On top of that, they really decided to go all the way with the industrial theme, choosing to have metal doors and standout bolts. Now whether the rust was on purpose or not, it sure does add to the whole vibe.
