Radiation has a new face

[Medic2588]

The International Atomic Energency Association has adopted a new symbol for radiation. Apparently, people around the world seem less likely to recognize the classic trefoil. To read more about the new change, check out:

Unfortunately, its not a joke.

I suppose they know best, but that sign's about confusing! Three things to identify and consider before you can react? Hmmm what's this sign saying....ok, that's radiation...could die....is that figure running? That way? I should go that way? ...Why again?

But then again, I don't see Mr. Yuck stickers around anymore either.

This obviously says "Bring your javelin to our Halloween break-dance at the retro-50s-style wigwam disco!"

On the other hand, it is kinda hard to imagine a clear symbol for an invisible toxin.

No, I think it says "This fan will blow hot air to everybody, including pirates and runners"

You mean it should be the logo for emtcity.com?

I'd take the running man out. Just put the radiating trefoil and the skull and crossbones. Or a flaming man.

We have our share of flaming men here, but when it becomes excessive, the thread gets locked.

Btw, threatening to take someone out is against the Forum rules... Just sayin'.

Just what I had in mind... except it must include the pirates and runners... :wink:
