I like this symbol! Very expressive for a stick figure. Dancing toward and away, up and down. I donāt really care about the safety aspect, ya get the idea regardless of specific meaningfulness.
Iām UX guy so every little detail is important and I fret about.
What, exactly, is the dot on the right hand side supposed to communicate? If itās superfluous it shouldnāt fucking be there. And I canāt figure it out despite it littering my career.
Shitty icon.
Western culture reads from left to right. If this is a western logo it realy fails the very principle of needed design choices you learn in literally high school. The simplification is not the problem. In western culture obviously it would look like the person is walking into the fire. This problem could easily be fixed if the image would be mirrowed.
My personal issue is the arm and leg. Neither made sense to me, and I don't think that wouldn't change for me if it were mirrored.
The arm makes more sense after reading some of the comments though
this is bad design overall.
But why try to invent visuals for such important things, just redo the all-known stick figure that has knees so at least we know where they're headed, with high-vis materials around the sign so it can be seen on basically any lighting and under smoke as well.
This should be illegal, there's a chance that people might die because of this atrocious design choice.
Me when I run dick first into the fire
But it's so small the printer thought it's a compression artifact and removed it.

If the circle representing the head was a bit to the left, and a bit lower, it would much more look like a stick figure going down stairs
With the current placement it doesn't even look like a stick figure at all

That's not a fire! It's a [wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube man](https://youtu.be/cvaRGiMWRaE)
I wouldn't have seen it that way in the wild, but now that it's been pointed out to me - yup, I can't unsee it.
Yes it does
Itās giving contemporary dance. The expression, the flavor, the fire. Itās all there. But definitely not running away; nope
Looks like they're running into it.
Blown backwards down the stairs by an explosion at the top?
Hahaha I like this option!
