"Odd" request - new standard for unisex restroom ADA signage

[Rick]

This is the lamest interpretation of a RESTROOM sign.

There is no official toilet pictogram because the men/women picto is the "international" symbol for restroom. It's used all over the world!!!! I would lose the UNISEX and replace it with "RESTROOM" otherwise, this is someone thinking way too much

Don't take it wrong from my side either, I liked your bathroom signs, even though they made the female one look like the christian symbol turned at a 90 degree.

They don't have a international toilet pictogram because some places in the world just have a hole in the floor.

Do you get a little bombardier sight for the squatting holes ??



mmmm........ bombs away.................

The ones I've installed simply contain the descriptor text "RESTROOM". The pictograms (the man, the woman, the wheelchair) imply the fact that it's accessible to all individuals

that's what we have been doing for local state univeristy and no one has peed on the floor yet because they couldn't figure it out so I say it has served it's purpose.

Seems by most of these posts, they aren't worried about a little pee on the floor, but a quivering steamy pile of sha-a-a-a-aving cream.

Besides, what does it matter where you do your job, as long as you do it in a toilet or down a hole and not on the living room carpet, like my frickin' cat does.

the thing is people need to know where to go. if you are in a wheelchair or you are a cross gender person or whatever you just need to know what room to go into to. if it has the male/female/handicap symbols the people will who need to know will. you don't have to have everything, just the above as it pretty much says everyone which is the point. some places are attempting to add gender neutral or unisex as a way of making it sound all inclusive. either way will work and if given the choice, I would go with unisex as the word has been around for a long time and people get what it means.
