Image Generator Hazard Symbols for Chemicals

Hi,

I would like to introduce my new webpage/program. On this webpage you can make custom hazard symbols. Well the text under the symbol is customizable.

The symbols can be used for on the web (with cheap print-screen) or you can print them. For printing there is a special option to give better quality.

If you got comments and/or idea's, please share them. :)

I'm using European symbols on the website, until today I didn't know about the NFPA (704) Diamond.

Is the diamond much used in America? If there is interest I can perhaps also add the diamond on the website. :)

//edit: my english is not so good. should the website be named differently? is this better?: "Chemical Hazard Symbol Generator" ?

There are new symbols implemented from 16.10.2008.

Interesting, I did not know that. The new symbols are globally and can be used freely, until 2015. Says wikipedia.

Those 45 degrees rotated symbols are difficult to use if you want to add a chemical/name to it.
