I was working on this commercial space last year and
I put so much time in to making sure the creative concept was very
unpredictable. I knew I couldn’t have the usual male/female bathroom signs. So
I came up with a cool idea for the bathroom doors for that project. But first I
want to show you the other super cool 7 commercial bathrooms that caught the eye
of my team and I.
Enjoy!
I really like the fact
that the signs are on the interior of the doorframe {not the door itself} in a pronounced metal sign. It also
allows for an easier way for patrons to find the bathroom.
Instead of using 1 male/female symbol on the bathroom door, they created a large collage
of the male/female symbol with a variety of smaller male/female symbols. It’s a
funky spin on a traditional concept.
This Mermaid & Pirate
bathroom sign is so clever. I’m not sure the location of this bathroom, but would
make a lot of sense at a marine dock, or a sea aquarium.
Since these bathroom
doors are right next to each other it was pretty resourceful of them to make 1 body
and split it in half with female/male on each side. I also like how the
interior paint is the same color as the painted symbol on the front door.
A photo collage of males & females is pretty simple and to the point. It made me think how this would be a great idea
for a day care, pre-school, OBGYN office as well. Parents & children would
love to see their kids face displayed on a cork board/bathroom door.
The male/female symbol on
these doors caught my eye because not only are the life size, but they are also
very geometric in style & shape. I like how they created broad & wide shoulders for the male, and a
slender body/dress for the female. Simple, stylish and easily understood.
For my commitment phoebes
{don’t worry, I’m one of them too} when I saw this I thought to myself, why not
paint the bathroom doors with chalkboard paint and you can draw the male/female
symbol of your liking and change it up week by week. You can try out many all
of the examples above, the mermaid & pirate, the geometric symbols & the
split body male/female symbols. You can change up the colors as well. Great
option if you love variety.
This is the bathroom of
the commercial project I mentioned earlier. I thought using the male/female chromosome
would not only be unpredicted but it’s also a pop quiz & conversation starter. You'd e surprised to find out how many people don't know which bathroom is for them. These bathrooms are single use only, so if someone makes a mistake, it’s not
the biggest deal in the world.
