It's a clever way to incorporate the handicap logo into weight lifting in a way that doesn't emasculate handicap people. I think it's well done.
I think the idea of inclusion is great. I just don‘t think it‘s a great execution of the design.

right... but to call something a specific kind of art you gotta back that up. this was posted as "clever" not as "functional" or something else with a lower bar.
ie, what is "clever" about this? it really is quite the opposite... it's lazy.
Not exactly sure which part of it is supposed to be clever though...
I wonder what the women’s-room equivalent is (and whether it is similarly "not emasculating")
Indeed. The universal handicap sign is just a person in a wheelchair. How is that "emasculating," exactly?
Having a plain person-in-a-wheelchair icon right next to the stylized weightlifting man would be making a statement about wheelchair users.
Why do you think that statement is "you are not a man"?
Those aren't his legs, that's his third leg ;)
The only valid excuse to skip leg day.
How is this Design Porn?
OP is aroused by buff dudes in wheelchairs
Aren’t we all
You’re not?
I like it. For wheelchair users and also Schrutes
Good intention, but now his legs stand out as sticks
I mean, it's not like he's here for a leg day...
Obviously, it's just a weird decision to draw two halves of the guy in two styles
This is Fugly
This is creative I quite like this
how so? seems quite literal... the oposite of creative. not bad, just not clever as this sub proports to be
if we asked 100 people to draw a boring and simple handicap weight lifting sign then we would get back 100 drawings exactly like thus.
I mean the idea behind the design is creative! Cool of them to modify it to fit their business’ theme rather than just using the standard one. Most would have overlooked that.
Agree with that. It is creative to try and use a new symbol that's simple and fun.
maybe... but more likely due to ADA rules it came about that they needed a sign.
this also isnt a "creative idea but bad execution" sub... there is an ATBGE that might cover it.
I doubt either is the case tho... this post should just be removed.
edit: as others have mentioned... this is so bad that some are suggesting it appears to say "men" dont need wheelchairs, lol
Somehow, even more homoerotic.
This is /designporn, sir, not /virtuesignalling
Ah damn, Michael is here!
Quickly, everyone! Hide everything that is not a straight white man!
How do you know if I am straight?
Or white?
Or a man?
(hint: not all three are correct, maybe not even two, but I'm not sure)
Better play it safe! Able bodied, straight white male content is the only way to ensure we are not posting woke content or virtue signaling!
Can't be too safe!
Oh dear hoist with his own petard
So the left one is men, and the right symbol is for...?
Still looking for the Design Porn part
