Another decal suggestion (inc. hazard symbols)

Hello

Okay, okay, I know some of these have come up before, but I have a few extras so...

Could we get a decal pack(s) that contain some or all of the following (mostly globally recognised) symbols:

Red Cross (white square, red cross)
Green Cross (green sqaure, white cross)
Recycling Triage (white square, green symbol)
Harmful (orange square, black 'X' - i know it's the old sysmbol, but cooler I think it looks better than an exclamtion mark)
Flammable (red diamond, black flames)
Toxic (yellow diamond, black skull)
Radioactive (yellow diamond, black symbol)
Biohazard (yellow diamond, black symbol)
Laser (yellow triangle, black symbol)
military/police (transparent background, white/black/grey star)

There are loads of standard chemical/hazard warning emblems that could work really well, these are just the ones I'd personally like.
And I would be cool if some of the colours get adjusted, mostly listing the standard ones.

I just think these would be really cool from a role play point (and I am at least the 10th person suggest red cross, so it's obivously popular).

On a side, if the decal pack was like £2 with some of the cash going to charity (possibly red cross for one), I'd totally pay that.

Anyway, just a thought.

I've seen it other games so just assume it would be cool.

Yeah, it is a common misconception that it's a, well, common symbol like "on/off" or "biohazard" and what have you, when in fact it belongs to the Red Cross organization (google is my friend: International Committee of the Red Cross). I think lot of the game developers are under the same impression and simply do it by accident. But as far as I know the Red Cross doesn't watch it with same vigilance as some companies do with their logos, so some games/movies/etc. get away with it. But when the RC do spot a misuse, they ask the symbols to be removed.

Are you sure? Its also the national flag of England and has been for a lot longer than the red cross has used it.

The cross on England's flag looks nothing like the Red Cross cross. That is the key.

A red cross on a white background like below (and the likeness of it) is governed by the Committee of the Red Cross and when used in context of anything health related (be it an apotheque, ambulance or a hospital) is indeed prohibited by the Red Cross committee.

Decal Suggestion.. I was trying to find something appropriate for my mining vessels. Nothing really stands out. Also for the life of me I can not think of any iconology that would symbolize mining! Maybe just something symbolizing industry?

Totally, this is what I wanted to use the 'laser' warning symbol for, as, well, in my head I think it would work as a futuristic mining symbol. I was going to suggest the 'explosive' warning sysmbol as well for deep core mining, but the list was already getting long.
And though (like pretty much everyone else who suggest it) red cross was going to be for my (people) resuce ship, the green cross was for my support ship (and flammable symbol on other side it carrying the fuel limpet, or recycler if hull repair).
