Restroom Signs

Bathroom Signs or toilet signs come in a variety of design options. A wide range of signs from the very neutral signs in public places, using only the letters WC and marking if it is a men’s or women’s toilet, to the far more personal or humorous toilet door signs found in homes.
One needs to consider a few things when designing a toilet sign. If the sign is for a home bathroom, the aesthetics are important, as the sign must fit with the ambiance and style of the home. In this case, ornate letters or slightly more humorous signs are essential to make even the classic WC sign more personal. However, in public places, it is more important that the toilet sign is clearly designed and fulfills its function – to show people where the toilet is.

WC signs with symbols

When it comes to designing toilet signs for public spaces, it is best to use pictures and the word WC instead of writing TOILET on the sign. This will make it easier for small children and for those who speak another language to find the toilet quickly.

In addition to using images and using WC signs instead of TOILET signs, you should indicate who the toilets are for. Some of the most common ones are Men and Women, which are often indicated by figures wearing pants or a skirt. You can also challenge gender norms and have different pictures or divisions.

For the disabled, it is essential to have a clearly etched image of a disabled toilet, usually marked with the symbol of a wheelchair. Changing baby nappies is usually indicated with the symbol of a baby on a changing table.
