Are there alternative pictograms for the typical Men and Woman symbols?
There is no legal set of pictograms defined by the federal or state governments for restroom signs. The common “Man” and “Woman” gender pictograms that you see everywhere are called DOT pictograms. They were standardized by the US Department of Transportation (e.g. the “DOT”). Most restroom signs use these DOT pictograms. For the visually impaired, however, there are sometimes concerns that the Woman and Man pictograms look too similar at a distance. Alternative designs have been offered by several people. But none of these designs (other than the California Title 24 designs) seem to have developed legs. They have not developed a following; the DOT pictograms predominate.
