Cool idea for the washroom labeling

For those who did not know, in Vancouver the bathrooms are called washrooms.  I took this picture in one of the local restaurants.  I think this was creative.  Instead of boring words - Males/Females or Ladies/Gentlemen - the owners used these paintings.  Recognizable and elegant.

Don't have cold feet

"Pick a color using your image" (Reynold, 2010, p.84).   I used the color of the jeens for the color of the font.  The color palette of this image looks simple and pleasant.

More ducks and colors

"When you put a word into a type, you have given it a visual form while the verbal meaning remains. This dual nature of typography is what makes it so fascinating and so potentially powerfull". (Reynolds, 2010, p. 33) 
I already posted this image of the ducks on June 9, 2011.  The font of the message "Get your ducks in a row" was more elegant and decorative. In today's post I switched the font to a heavier one. I think it presents the statement in a bolder and more demanding way.

One of the images has a different message, "Save the planet - carpool". The font here is more rounded and organic.   The color and shape of it helps to bring it closer to the representation of water, clean air.

The background colors add different emotions to the same message.  Neon green background expresses adds more urgency to the message, black one - more drama, as if something bad is going to happen if you don't get your ducks in a row.

Experimenting with font and messages

One of the pictures I took in Vancouver while waiting for a table at the restaurant.

I added the text:

I will also try to experiment with colors and change the message in my next posts.
