Poor Image: Which Restroom Dilemma

Go To

This is somewhat iffy because it does rely on teeny text to make out the differences in the signage and how they're opposing. Did link to a larger version but I still don't think with most of the meaning hidden in the text it's all that good so suggestions?

The concept is good, but it needs to be stacked vertically and bigger so the signs are more legible...when I have to lean in to read something on my oversized desk monitor, it's illegible.

Just to toss it out there. Whatever episode this Spongebob gif came out of may make a good pic.

That's good. I also Google searched "Confusing Restroom Signs." Sure enough, the current popped up first. [1][2][3]

I like Rethkir's last image largely because it's more visually interesting.

4.3 > 4.1 > no image. I could also get behind a clearer version of the current.

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

There's a clearer version by which I mean the one which is on the site anyway but scaled down due to the site's limits on images [1]

Could stack and resize I guess.

I prefer Rethkir's third one to the current, even resized.

I like 4.3 as well. It's the same concept as the current, but it's almost purely visual rather than text-based.

Bump; now that I've looked at the suggestions on my computer as opposed to my phone, I'm changing my vote to 4.3, far over the others. Slightly cropped and at 350:

recropped and straightened.

With a few image degradation issues along the way, another swipe?

[up] Mine is brighter but yours is slightly straighter, so [tup]

PS: Are you on a computer or a phone?

Do you know how much of a pain in the ass it is to upload (and edit) an image from a phone. I've tried it. It's not fun.

[up][up] Yours is fuzzy too and shouldn't be brighter if all you were doing was cropping and straightening (though mine also had extra edits to fix the focal distortion at the bottom).

[up]I know editing and uploading on a phone is a PITA, that's why I don't do it.

[up][up]Just so you all know, almost everything I've done is on the phone. I have almost full functionality aside from using a PPT to shop my photos, a printer to run it off and some razor blades and white out.

Yes, that was grandpa's technique!

EDIT: I didn't notice the compression on my smaller screen but yes mine was a bit fuzzy. And hers some more sugs, 1, 2, 3

Bump; any other votes on 14, or should we go ahead with a crowner?

14 gets my [tup]. I don't know if that's fresh vote or simply a repeat, though.

I sometimes post images I wouldn't vote for, though I tend to mention that in those cases.
