Don't let your one-armed toddler with a tumor on his left kidney reach for the hot biscuits on the floating shelf of doom??

haha i agree..

it's even better to make the red X look like it was drawn by hand, to strengthen the contrast in shape and style. it must attract the eye anyway.
but yes, the current size is very wee!

icon/signage design: the most underrated design discipline ever.

(Oct 19 07, 07:45)Fo' Sho' - it's this icnonographic side of design that I actually quite enjoy - all the other bollock prettifying can go to hell for all I care.

last tip:
perhaps not use an enclosing circle or border if at real small size; instead just the child and shelf and box and a red cross over it, that'll do best it seems.

Also, for legal reasons, I can't be too specific, which doesn't really help.
It's got to say "keep out of reach of children" without ..er.. actually saying 'Keep out of reach of children".
Perhaps that's a little too unreasonable a request. Maybe 'client' should give me some leeway here.
Fucking legals.

Yup, exactly, wunderbra - I thought I was being clever with the pudgy body and over-sized head - the size of the symbol's principal usage is pretty damn wee though, so I can't really have too much detail in there.
I'll give the teddy-bear a try - that's the way the consumerChem companies appear to do it.
Thanks for all your feedback, relevant or no!

haha, i know its his arm but it looks like a uncle sized gut. and he looks all sad looking down at it. like, "what have i done to myself" and "thank god ive got this novelty coffee to take my mind off my body"

Ok, A little context then.
Imagine seeing this not on the overhead luggage compartment in an aeroplane, but rather on a consumable item/package of some sort.
Though, perhaps, I already have the answer to the question I asked.
Back to the drawing board?
