Christian Flag The Christian Flag is an ecumenical flag designed in the early 20th century to represent all of Christianity and Christendom.

The dimensions of the flag and canton have no official specifications.

Hazard symbol Hazard symbols or "warning symbols" are recognisable symbols designed to warn about hazardous materials, locations, or objects, including electric currents, poisons, and radioactivity. The use of hazard symbols is often regulated by law and directed by standards organisations. Hazard symbols may appear with different colors, backgrounds, borders and supplemental information in order to specify the type of hazard and the level of threat (for example, toxicity classes). Warning symbols are used in many places in lieu of or addition to written warnings as they are quickly recognized (faster than reading a written warning) and more universally understood (the same symbol can be recognized as having the same meaning to speakers of different languages).
