hazard pictogram

post #2846229 post #4660411 post #3735580
A hazard pictogram is a pictogram that uses high contrast, a limited color palette, and highly legible text to communicate a warning or identification to onlookers. Black and white or yellow and black are common color choices due to providing great contrasts.
The Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals ("GHS") includes an internationally-recognized standard for labeling of hazards and hazardous materials, and the monster fucker sign spawned a small number of imitators making similar interspecies pictogram art.
