In Australia, New Zealand, Dubai, and Korea, the standard appears to be "Way Out". I don't recall if these signs were used *every*where, but they were definitely used in airports and subway stations, and frequently in all kinds of public places. I don't know why there is a split, but I've wondered if it's because "Exit" sounds like a *command* (as in "Get out!"), whereas "Way Out" comes across more like a street sign, simply politely telling you where you are. -r- ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
