Other than this: link link NOTE: I'm particularly interested in examples of corridor/indoor signs that could still be legible if printed for 15mm. Thanks. Dan TMP link |

Aside from my original request above … I guess there's always the option of making a few large simple stencil signs on concrete, though mostly simple and numerical: TMP link Dan |

Hmm. Don't forget the little map saying "you are here" or showing how to reach the emergency exit/escape pod. But I suspect the most common sign in high-tech human space is always going to be the one telling me I'm on Level 3, Corridor 5 A Ring or Brown Sector--numbers, possibly with letters or color-coded. Some Inuits invented non-Arabic numerals which come in handy for that sort of thing. |

You might want to look up SCP Foundation stuff – I know some fans have done field and hazard signs. Might be a bit weirder than you want to go, though, unless your setting requires "Pray While Shooting" and "Do Not Follow The Little Girl" warnings. |

Some people predict Emojis or some similar pictogram language. |

These are well known today, but the cut corners on the triangles almost makes them look futuristic: link And who doesn't need warning stripes, right? link Dan |
