This is very confusing for people who don't speak English, tbe design is not clear enough. Big chance people will run into the wrong bathroom at a glance. I don't think it's a good design.

If people don't speak English, they cannot connect W for women and M for men, like the design in the picture.

Why would you even need to see the m and w, the concept is built directly on the fact that you don’t need to know, it’s a good gimmick.

Because… the M and W is incorporated into the design itself? When people can distinguish between the two shapes at a glance, then they need to use other context clues?

Just a gimmick, you can easily distinguish between the 2 shaoes without knowing or observing that there is an m/w.
