The No Smoking tells users not to do it. But Smoke Free Building tells all who enter that not even the offending odor lingers to bother. I liked the color combination of blues, white runaround, and white typography so share with you even though it guarded an office building with only the smallest of Snack…
There was no way to convey the truly small scale of this Undersized, Understated No-Smoking Medallion that was the only element outfitting a blank wall in a Casino Foodservice Concourse. That in itself makes the visual whisper speak more loudly while maintaining a sophisticated theme for patron regulation. See the thumbnail for closeup and gallery…
Tired of trite “No Smoking” messages? Try rephrasing to “Smoking is Not Permitted” with an emphasis on the “Not.” Now messaging is fresher, and maybe more powerful. The “Within 50 Feet of Any Entrance or Exit” qualifier works with either approach. Why establish an exterior perimeter? So customers needed walk through a lingering cloud left…
You could only see this in a city like New York. Here the Fire Exit (Right) is immediately adjacent to the all glass front entrance. If Fire breaks out as you enter you need not run far to get to the nearest clearly-signed emergency exit. The only delay might be if you hesitated to considering…
Neiman Marcus Maintenance has staked out its claim to work on repairing this failed escalator with this Retail Repair Barricade. Barricades insure shopper safety, keep out the public, and protect proprietary escalator trouble-shooting techniques from being pirated. Step through the gallery of Retail Repair Barricade zooms. I particularly like the circular “No Access” icon permitting…
A beautiful chrome sign frame, classy typography, and insect illustrations inform you that the this escalator is out of service, and to Follow Butterflies to Elevator. I might have considered color butterflies, but that would have increased the cost of this otherwise 1-color creation. See in close detail in the thumbnail and gallery of images…
Classy in-store sale signage and easel, with an equally classy yet understated “Sale Exclusions Apply” There was no hint that the “Exclusions” would be clearly marked in-store, so be prepared for “Price Check” use, and possibly some disappointment at checkout. But hopefully not many or much good will could be lost. If you sign this…
Entertaining all age groups is important for Mall success. Here Mall Zoo Ride Rules Spelled Out expand to take over a storefront for Skate-Rink-like ride space. The more Mall offerings and opportunities, the more it seems the need for regulation. See the thumbnail and gallery of photos for broader coverage of this entertainment, expanding from…
Short, sweet, and to the point … “No Smoking Unless You’re On Fire.” The catchy directive surely has more impact that other dull-and-boring approaches to tobacco regulation in retail. For readers less impressed by creative copywriting, it does employ the international No Smoking Symbol for pure visual communication. CLICK the thumbnail for a direct frontal view in…
Smokers can approach, but not to closely to this retail establishment. The keep-away zone also results in No Smoking inside the store since you’d have to cross the 15′ No-Man’s-Land to get through the door. If you read the message completely literally “No Smoking Within 15 Feet of Anywhere” could translate into no smoking planet-wide…
