Accessibility Icons

Made in partnership with Gender & Attraction Initiatives, Accessibility Icons are an important way to denote what type of event your guests will be entering into.  Is there elevator access to the space? Will there be loud noises, bright lights, &/or strong scents in the space? Accessibility Icons allow you to easily communicate what to expect so that guests can make more educated decisions & plan accordingly if needed.

An icon from each category may not make sense for every event. You are welcome to use any & all of these icons based on what type of event you are putting on.

Do you have an idea for a new icon? Email us at MRC@Oberlin.edu to suggest one!
