The door plate and the pictogram play a strategic role on a daily basis. These stylized figurative drawings are used to guide, inform, and warn of potential danger in a constant and uninterrupted manner. Pictograms, those small drawings attached to a door or an opening, belong to what is known as "pictographic" writing.
They have the advantage of being universally understood, regardless of the continent, country, or language used. They are mostly seen on office doors, restrooms, and in public places. These small drawings come in many references with numerous categories, each corresponding to a specific use: safety signage, identification signage, purely informational signage. A wide range of door plates, whether standard or customized, is also available for office, corporate, or home use. Door plates and pictograms designed for disabled individuals, store windows, and boutique stands also exist in a wide variant. Door plates and pictograms can also be made from brushed stainless steel, brushed aluminum, transparent plexiglass, engraved brass, or even simple signs or lettering in paint.
