I was looking for images to associate with toilets in my post regarding more cubicles in female toilets and I stumbled upon some interesting pictures in my computer.
Back then, I work for a company that has quite interesting toilet signs.
(The male toilet sign at Biopolis buildings.)
I am not a pervert that goes around take images of toilets, I took all sorts of pictures around my work place’s environment before I left to keep it as a memory. Yes, I want to remember the toilet sign I guess.

The above image is the one you see in the limited//cubicles post.
(The handicap toilet sign at Biopolis buildings.)
The handicap toilet sign is quite artistically done too. And you wonder why these shapes and colors are chosen.
(The map of the Biopolis buildings.)
Notice the shapes and color denotations of the buildings actually form the toilet signs. I thought that was creative.
(The Biopolis toilet interior.)
Of course, the toilet itself looks great too. The toilet has a slightly futuristic look since Biopolis is a research hub. Yet the warm yellow lighting gives the user a more cosy environment.

I like the sinks. It looks pretty. Unfortunately, the automatic taps can be rather annoying. It turns off the taps now and then when you are washing your hand. The technique is to move your palms as much as possible under the tap while washing your hands. Or else, the bloody tap would just turn of the water. The taps aren’t the best invention I suppose, perhaps they should fit gold taps.
(Not-so charitable it would seem for the ex-CEO of Singapore’s National Kidney Foundation to request installation of near-thousand-dollar gold tap.)
those are some cool toilet signs – all we ever get here are the normal boring stick figures , or simple ‘men’/'women’
no fun
I’ll rant for a bit: I’m with you , I HATE those automatic faucets!! Automatic toilets are okay… but the faucets piss me off, so many times they just don’t work for me, i end up swiping my hand under the thing 20x to get water and i look and feel like a retard :@
What do they think people are gonna do? Turn on the faucets for fun and run away lauging like 4 yr olds ? arrr, i hate them :@
pketh: Yup. I don’t really like those. But I did figure out a trick, it is just to constantly wave your hands under the censor. Meaning that you move more and the censor can detect movement as you wash.
That is so cool! I love that!
(I wonder who designs the interior of this building…)
we just have those boring blue ones with the little people on them.
aurora_starfire: I am not sure who designed it actually but it’s quite creative, hahaa…
Nice. So cool isn’t it. Very Creative and innovative!
It is, I still remember it sometimes when I visit toilets. It definately made an impression.

I had a friend forward this to me, I collect toilet signs. It is a little weird, I am an artist and have an idea for a exhibtion and its kind of got out of hand, I have so many. From Asia, Australia and Europe, so far the best ones overall are from Germany. You need to be careful though, it can look pretty bad hanging around a toilet with a camera. There a few I havent got, just because it was….. wrong! Keep an eye out for them, they can be really interesting.
Tianni: I took those after working hours, it would be strange to be spotted with a camera in the toilet!
I do like to take random pictures in places I go. Toilets are a great place for pictures unfortunately it’s perhaps the hardest place to take a photograph in at most times.
