The original design by Koefoed apparently depicted the wheel chair only; the addition of the little ball at the top made it human while retaining the wheel chair image. And now the tiny changes in the new design not only make it more dynamic, but advance the humanity of the image as well. Would be a delight to hear more about the design of stick figures as communication.<br /><br />johntatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10088632798195131329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-84053502172163491672018-10-16T09:05:01.890-05:002018-10-16T09:05:01.890-05:00Looks good, now.

Maybe I'm influenced by the original sign itself, more than the reality of a person in a wheelchair, but the original looks more like our impression of the wheelchair bound. Subsequent sights of chair racers and other athletes inform the new sign, a positive symbol most would agree.JPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613528527379198505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-7183754524127591732018-10-16T03:42:04.586-05:002018-10-16T03:42:04.586-05:00I have not yet seen the "dynamic action"...I have not yet seen the "dynamic action" handicapped-access symbol. It makes me visualize a handicapped Mets fan, racing down the platform to catch a Number 7 train to the ballpark. That signage fairly screams out: "NEW YORK!"Grizz 65https://www.blogger.com/profile/02892702223228764894noreply@blogger.com
