Caution Sign




When searching for a universal design relating to visual literacy, I can across this caution sign. The yellow sign is quite universal and functional. The fact that the sign is yellow is a plus for its functionality.  The symbol in the center is simple, but depicts potential danger. Although the sign is universal, the words “Wet Floor” provide extra clarity. When I am in a public place, the mall for example, and I see this sign, it immediately lets me know that something usually has occurred and to be careful. The instruction is simple, but can be vital in certain situations.
