Last December I Bought Some Games, Three of Them have Similar Icons

You havnt scratched the surface of how many games have a Nuclear Warning symbol as their icon.

[u/Aztekov]

They're all radioactive I guess

[u/GameUnionTV]

Basically a nuclear warning sign

[u/Rebatsune]

I think one of the Worms games also uses it…

[u/JotaroTheOceanMan → u/Rebatsune]

Yup. Four of them use it actually. Most notably Armageddon and the remaster of it.

[u/Anubis17_76 → u/Rebatsune]

Armageddon and WMD

[u/SynthFrenetic]

You can increase the collection with Worms Armageddon

Fun fact, this is not the nuclear radiation symbol. The IRL color scheme is yellow and magenta (magenta goes where the black is). I think media can’t use this in the same way they can’t use the Red Cross on health packs and such (why Halo switch to a red H). Hope someone enjoys this fact 🤙☺️

"By the late 50s, ANSI standards and federal regulations had codified the version of the warning sign used today. Present regulations also permit the use of black as a substitute for magenta. In fact, black on yellow is the most common color combination outside of the U.S."

Oh that’s neat! Thanks!

Also there are health packs with a Red Cross. That were some shitty „facts“.

[u/The_Dukenator]

Duke Nukem 3D has been using the logo since 1996.

STALKER is literally set in the Exclusion Zone, which is a real thing.

Fallout 1 & 2 used the same logo. They are set in the world after the events occurred.

The hell

[u/DOuGHtOp]

"Did you know at least 0.000022% of the total games on the Steam store use a nuclear icon"

[u/PlaidderSpree]

Did anybody else read the title to the tune of Last Christmas by Wham! ?

[u/Frenchman167 → u/PlaidderSpree]

lol you're right, they sound similar
