Bathroom Architecture
Let’s be real; this bathroom sign design is pretty genius if you think about it. Obviously located in the Middle East, we get a dual meaning here. Is this identifiably typical Middle Eastern architecture? Yes. Does this, ahem….clearly portray which gender goes where? Absolutely.
You have to give it to whoever designed this sign; they definitely thought outside the box. We’ve already got ideas for toilet signs in Paris, for example, or Washington D.C, or any other city that might have a tall monument.
All the Ladies
When it comes to bathrooms, women have a harder time than men. Usually, the line in the women's bathroom is always much longer, and it's a lot harder for women to tinkle in nature. This sign is here to right a couple of wrongs by saying all the stalls are saved for women.
The men can just go and do their business in the back. While this sign is funny, we actually do believe in bathroom equality for everyone, men included.
In A While, Crocodile
There is so much going on here; for a second, we forgot we were looking at bathroom signs. We have so many questions we don't even know where to begin.
First of all, why on earth is the male crocodile holding a crab? Why are there two random butterflies on each of these signs, and why is the female crocodile wearing only heels? We need answers
Beetle Juice, Beetle Juice, Beetle Juice
Please, oh, please tell us you recognize this image! We love a great movie reference, and this one really takes the cake. Can you remember? It’s our favorite dead couple from "Beetlejuice" (a killer Tim Burton film for those who haven't seen it), played by Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis.
These spooky faces come when the ghost couple is trying to scare Wynona Ryder and her family from their property. This one is for cult film fans worldwide, no need whatsoever to speak the same language; it spooks, we mean, speaks for itself.
All Genders Are Welcome
Mr. and Mrs., his and hers, ladies and gentlemen…. and also differently-abled people, and also transgender and non-binary people - everyone is invited! This simple yet clever design sends the right message.
This is so simple and so important but it isn't done enough. In the future, we hope all bathroom signs will include everyone. Also, finding different ways to represent the different types of people who use bathrooms opens the door to endless creativty with future signs.
