Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Biohazard symbol

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Original - The international biological hazard symbol, developed by the Dow Chemical company in 1960 for their containment products. All parts of the Biohazard sign can be drawn with a compass and ruler. The basic outline of the symbol is a plain trefoil, which is three circles overlapping each other equally like in a triple venn diagram with the overlapping parts erased.
Reason
This image is illistrative and infomrative, and enhances the encyclopdia by adding an element to Biohazard-related articles that can not be replaced by words alone. Since the symbol represents the entire biohazard field I decided to nominate it for featured status.
