The Coworking Space (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coworking) I have a desk at asked me to bring a little charm and design to the signs they put up and structure the information.
Nobody likes passive-agressive rules and signs, but in order to keep everybody comfortable, especially if you have 50+ fluctuating coworkers, you might benefit from some friendly reminders.

The idea is to print this properly and replace the cut-out sticky-notes with printed stickers. 
So I'd love your (outside and inside) feedback, especially on the development of the Coworker Wall.

Here is my analogue prototyping:

Suggested TLDR: "Don't shit in the sink!"

Maybe: "Feed the piggies, don't be one."

The kitchen is a hot spot for friendly reminders. Keep the fridge door closed, remember to pay your drinks and clean up if you make a little mess.

Anything missing?

I'm not happy with the scrubbing symbol yet, but it's literal enough. If you make a mess - get your hands dirty cleaning it up.

Here and there text instructions will add to the icon system.

We could make this a coworking set and offer it for other offices and spaces.

The "mine" icon reminds you to label your goods and cherish them before they go bad.
Also, they indicate where the coworkers can stash stuff.

In combination the "Thank you!" sticker stresses importance and calls for action.

The little stickers on the glass windows to the hangout area remind you to drink more and less from plastic bottles.
Do you agree?

The "Zentrale Frankfurt Coworking" devides coworkers between "Nomads" and "Residents". The latter have a seperate room with designated desks. The big difference to nomad space is that you have 24/7 access, while the nomad space is only open until 19:00.
Sometimes nomads need to be reminded not to stay late and respect the opening hours.

And of course, in Resident space, you get to keep a fixed desk where your stuff may collect dust and you get to show off your desktop computer budget. Kept under lock and key, it's shared responsibility to protect our stuff.

I try to create a limited number of signs that communicate according to context. In this case it should be clear to lock up the door and turn of the lights.

What do you think?

Any better ideas for the conference room symbol? Maybe two overlapping speech bubbles?

 

 

This is the polaroid wall at the heart of the Coworking Space. At the last coworker brunch we thought about "tagging" the fotos with simple color coding to make it more interesting and functional.
We're discussing whether to use color or function for hierarchy.

Here are a few impressions of our nice place on the Berger Straße in Frankfurt:

If enough interest arises we'd go serial with high qualitiy stickers.
I really like the options from Moo.com, but I think it makes more sense to think of removable adhesives.

What do you think?

So, we'd love some feedback and input from you and a friendly hit on the button below:
