People often think that creativity is reserved only for “artists” or those in the fine arts arena, but this caution cone at Six Flags proves otherwise.

It would have been easy to stick with the traditional orange cone, or even to make a wider base on a cone, but someone had the creative eye to think “hey, in yellow, this cone looks like a peeled banana — let’s make it actually look like that.” Peeled bananas are often used to represent slipping so the analogy is even more appropriate. A banana cone is not just fun, it’s a visual reminder of its function. Bravo!

Get the narrative out of your head that art and design are reserved only for lofty artisans. Everyone is creative — even the cone-designing safety officer.

Thanks, Brian!
