As a graphic designer, I appreciate the design and communication qualities of icons. Non verbal symbols have been particularly important in Europe for decades. This one in the train station of Llandudno, Wales, confused me at first.
Spraying water? A reminder to wash your hands? Finally it dawned on me. The metal disc housed a light sensor. Wave Goodbye! (Wave your hand in front of it to activate the flush.)
Appropriate for a train station, right?
