I am becoming very interested in design; the design of animal appendages, buildings, chairs, fonts, etc. I suppose this was started by my work at
Affinnova. There were outstanding designers and IDEA algorithm worked best on graphically intensive exercises. The designers said that one of the hardest areas of design is iconography, universal symbols to convey meaning such as dangerous or nuclear.
The photos here are from the Greenhouse backpackers in Melbourne, Australia. In New Zealand, they use common symbols that you see in the US for the men and women's bathrooms. Here they have tried something different and I think to mediocre success. I understand the symbol for the men's room but I don't get the one for the women. One is a shower and the other is a toilet because it was on the other men's bathroom. This was the only unusual example of bathroom iconography that I found in Australia.
