On the street

Red belts on black posts, in three queues.

  • A long red-belt line on black posts stretching across a plaza towards an arena gate, people waiting along it between steel bollards
  • Black posts with red belts running a queue across a paved plaza outside an arena entrance, sandbags on the bases and red sign frames set along the line
  • Black posts with red belts set out as a switchback queue on artificial turf in a city plaza, a red carpet runner down the middle and sandbags piled beside it

What it is good at

Six places the line has to be red.

  • Ticketed doors with more than one lane

    Colour is the fastest instruction there is. A red belt on the accredited lane beside black on general entry sorts a crowd before anyone reads a sign.

  • Rooms where nothing may be touched

    Around a vehicle on a plinth or a case of product, a red line carries the meaning a black one leaves to a steward to explain.

  • Brand activations built in red

    Where the palette is set months before the build, the equipment either belongs in the photographs or is cropped out of them.

  • Retail launches and sale mornings

    A queue that forms before the doors open needs a shape from the first person to arrive, in a colour readable from the far end of a shopping centre.

  • Sports and club hospitality

    Where a club plays in red, matching the entrance to the shirt is the cheapest piece of dressing in the building.

  • Beside a red carpet runner

    The runner draws the walk, the belt holds the edge of it. Two red items on one order beat a red carpet fenced by black posts.

Worth adding at the head

A red belt closes a line. It cannot explain one.

Red reads as stop from across a room, which is why it ends up over the gaps nobody should walk through. What it cannot say is why the gap is closed or where the open one is. The sign frame clamps to the collar at the top of a post and carries an 8.5 × 11 in print you supply. One at each closed gap is usually the whole order.
