  • This should be merged with, and then redirect to, Cultural icon, as it covers that and the computing sense, which can be picked up from the disam page. Johnbod (talk) 04:01, 9 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Biohazard edit

 
The biohazard graphic is only a symbol, since its meaning is entirely designated by convention and it represents no specific object

As far as I know, the biohazard icon represents a centrifuge, so the statement "it represents no specific object" would be wrong. Greetings, Boolean hexadecimal (talk) 19:55, 18 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

This is incorrect; the symbol was designed to be "memorable but meaningless". See the article. — Hex (❝?!❞) 20:05, 27 February 2012 (UTC)Reply
