Reminds me of a restaurant I visited in Colorado. The men’s bathroom was Superman, and the women’s was Wonder Woman…
cool if you have a pic of it, we could it add it to the list.
=)
Schirn art museum in Frankfurt – has similar signs to the 9:30 Club in Washington DC.
The Ladies is a barbie version of Ariel (little mermaid) and the Mens sign is a barbie Prince (fairytale kind)
the boxes they are in are standing up though
From a bar in Toronto, Canada.
This is coool.. whome ever done this have done a hard word to gather these information and it has been made in a nice way…
Some are truely creative designs. Such compilation deserve viewers’ encouragement.
What about this one from Moscu
http://www.rockhunter.org/viajes/Rusia/sanpeter/DSCN0970.JPG
A church in Mississauga has washroom signs in plain lettering. “Women” and the other “Gentlemen.”
I guess Men and Ladies were not allowed. :-)
In the tavern in Sanbornville New Hampshire, on the womens door it says,
“WIPE IT” on the mens door it says “SHAKE IT” No questions there!!!
There was this one restaurant I went to in State College, PA. On the women’s restoom door there was a picture of the Arch de Triumph. On the men’s was the Eifel Tower.
Took me a second to figure that one out.
Wow…those are great…i’m confused about the pizza one though. Maybe it’s just too late and my mind is completely gone. Great collection though!
You need this: Funny toilet sign
Great article, shame ImageShack sucks.
THIS is coolest http://toompark.pri.ee/aarne/index.php/imelikud-wc-sildid/
In bratislava, I missed the right place because of female/male signs. I could only remember it was a fashion night cafe : a line and a round. I missed and i wonder why yet.
Look my blog too, we have the same idea.
Tks

Actually, it’s a case of how sex is captured in just a few strokes, not gender. Wonderful signs, though.
yurdumun esprili insanları her zamanki gibi dünyaya fark atmış.
I’ve seen this one on the internet for a while.

Been to the White Dog bathrooms. They are tiny with little corner sinks. I also know people who have had sex in them. Seems like a bad idea to me…

There’s a bar in Rochester, NY, USA called LUX that has a picture of a banana on the door for guys, and a picture of a peach on the door for girls.
Years ago there was a farm-supply store in Wisconsin where the restrooms were marked “John Deere” and “Allis Chalmers”.
I saw number 38 in Bolu, Turkey
The Gallery Restaurant in Steamboat Springs, CO used to have paintings (reproductions) of Gainsborough’s “Blue Boy” and “Pink Lady”. Sorry – have no picture. Was the greatest restauraunt back when.

With the exception of one language, Ngore-Kiga, for which Haspelmath did not have reliable data, all languages observed the same overall set of contiguity relationships. ,
I would say that my favorite is the signs at the Hotel Roosevelt in Hollywood, CA. I love the classic style and elegance of them, very nice. Its amazing how creative people can get with a toilet sign.
it’s amazing! espically 22!
Incredible. losu.org is killer.
