In Case of Fire.

My apartment complex has three elevators.  All of them are accompanied by signs that look like this:
The ones we have, however, have black text with a white background, which is much easier to read.
I like the design of these signs much better than other ones I've seen.  For example, this sign seems to be encouraging running straight into flames in the event of a fire, which I believe is quite counter-productive:


All of the "In Case of Fire Signs" are accompanied by braille text at the bottom; giving the same instructions again to all the seeing impaired.

Well, I noticed that some jerk has been systematically scratching the little braille bumps off of the ''In Case of Fire" sign.  What if some poor blind person who knows how to read braille actually takes the time to read that sign in the event of a fire?  Since there are dots missing, the braille could say something else entirely.


But hey, at least it's not as bad as what they did to the girls' elevator:

    I have NO IDEA who wrote on that... *coughmyroommatescough*

    My other favorite is "In Case of Fire, Use Stairs" with the picture of they stick man beating the fire with the staircase.

    You know, I just realized that I should thank your roommates for providing me material, since it is oh so hard to come by. I didn't know your roomies were capable of such mischief.
