A sign should communicate to the reader its message as clearly and in as short a time as possible, whilst ensuring the information given is complete and accurate. It should not over complicate a sign by trying to say too much, but keeps to the important facts as succinctly as possible.
Generally for safety signs, if at first glance you cannot understand the message the sign is trying to convey, then the sign has failed its purpose.
The Symbol
Safety signs have a picture or diagram of some sort. In most cases this will relate directly to the message which wants to be conveyed. This helps those who perhaps cannot read, suffer from dyslexia or speak a different language.
Occasionally the message is impossible to illustrate with a simple picture, and in these cases a general symbol (be it warning or prohibition etc) will be used.
White Boarders
Today’s signs are designed with white boarders, ensuring that there is always a contrast between the sign and the background it is placed upon.
Upper and Lower Case Text
Studies have shown signs are more legible in both upper and lower case from a distance when compared to using only capital letters.
