Restroom Sign

The restroom sign can be easily recognized by its consistent use of color, arrangement, and layout. Generally, the sign is in blue with white lettering and shapes. Blue is a primary color on the color wheel that easily stands out to the viewer in any environment that it is in. The color blue has a myraid of symbolic meaning and feelings associated with it such as sadness, happiness and optimism, or the male gender. In the case of the restroom sign, it is appropriate to assume that the color represents different emotions for each individual person. The sign either a man and a woman on it with e line dividing them down the middle. If the man is on the right side of the sign than the men's restroom is on the right side of the sign. Likewise, if the woman is on the left sign of the sign, than the women's restroom is on the left side of the sign. The shapes on the sign are close together to conserve space.










Sometimes the sign is seen in black, but regardless of the color a person can infer that it is a restroom sign because of the universally recognized symbols used on the sign of a man and a woman. The shapes are always the same so that a person can tell whether it is the men's or women's restroom. Even though the man and woman may not always be on the same side of the sign, they balance each other out, making the sign appearance even on each side.
