Marcin WicharyIs it very weird that I like these.
They feel super European to me somehow – you don’t see this extreme version a lot any more.
Chris Silverman 🌻@mwichary I've always liked dark warning signage for some reason. I think my favorite example of this is Mr Ouch: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr._Ouch
@csilverman Oh, wow, I never heard of this.
@mwichary That symbol is common in the US, although most of the time I see a Mr Ouch sign, it's pretty old and faded, so maybe they're being phased out. I thought the original goal—something that a child would recognize as dangerous—was an interesting design project, though.
(I wrote that Wikipedia article a while back; it was a bit frustrating since there really wasn't much info available on this)
