Their is a movement to change the traditional “EXIT” sign to that of a little green person running out of a door. Apparently, the word “EXIT” is only understood by those fluent in English so those who aren’t are doomed in the event of a fire.

And while I can appreciate the need for a universal symbol for an exit, they could have picked a better color than green. After all, red catches people attention. Green, well, it is very neutral and down right boring. There is a reason that red is used for fire extinguisher and fire hydrants. Hello?

Besides, if I see a sign with a little green man walking though a little green door, I am thinking it is a recycling station.
