RESTROOM and TOILET DOOR SIGNS
Hi,
I'm a designer in London and I'm desperate for the toilet...signs you see on doors for ladies and gents. Anything unusual, clever, different, beautiful, ugly, odd, bad or bizarre is required. Or you may have designed some. If you send me either contact details or images you will get a credit in the book (I have a publisher lined up and a deadline!). I will also need some idea of where the signs were is possible. The images don't have to be amazingly good quality and the book is not that large. So if you have seen something, know where they are and if possible have contact details, have a picture of them you can send me or have designed some yourself and want them included, let me know (send an e-mail to . many thanks Regards Lee Newham |

see on doors for ladies and gents. Anything unusual, clever, different, My favourite is at the Mendelium in Brno (the genetics museum). You can probably work out how a genetics museum might designate them... The Glasgow School of Art (designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh) has its gents doors decorated with what appear to be stylized stained glass ****s. CRM must have had an odd sense of humour. I wonder how they label them in gender reassignment clinics? ============== j-c ====== @ ====== purr . demon . co . uk ============== Jack Campin: 11 Third St, Newtongrange EH22 4PU, Scotland | tel 0131 660 4760 http://www.purr.demon.co.uk/jack/ for CD-ROMs and free | fax 0870 0554 975 stuff: Scottish music, food intolerance, & Mac logic fonts | mob 07800 739 557 |

The Blackie Boy pub in Newcastle has (or certainly had a couple of years ago) DICK and FANNY written on the doors. Seems to still be the case http://www.theburglarsdog.co.uk/review.html?25 Edmund |

But also wanted to post this on the group as well. Went to use the rest rooms in a Polish Resturant. Ah, am I a triangle(inverted) or a circle? (both hollow) I guessed right, but I've since forgotten which it was. (I can see one justification either way for each) Apparently, this is a common sign in the country. When I commented my Polish (ex)colleagues said "don't you have this sign in your country?", "Nope" Tim |

I'm a designer in London and I'm desperate for the
toilet...signs you see on doors for ladies and gents. Anything unusual, clever, different, Let's see, I recall a [Stand] [Sit] option to identify one set of restrooms. With a picture of a canine in the appropriate position. Once in a seafood restaurant I was greated with [Oyster] [Clam] (I kid you not). And I almost wet my pants before finally deciding on Oyster. I mean, give me a frigging break here, what the heck were the restaurant owner's thinking? |
