Most of the time, the most famous symbols are made by the most annonymous of people. They make them, not for fame, recognition, or money beside what they make from their salary. They do their job, and move on to the next one. The ubiquitous "Falllout Sign" being one of them. This image became they symbol of the Cold War, appearing on everything from [qualified] buildings, their intended purpose, to anti-war protest signs, magazines, album covers, video games, countless other junk, and ultimately, a relic of a bygone age once thought relegated to the past.
The funny thing is, sometimes these symbols have a way comming back into relevence.

I've rarely seen that version on protest signs or indeed around much at all, I'm not sure it's an international standard.
(I had to go and look up the differences as I didn't know it's exact meaning, I assumed it was a poor copy of the standard hazard sign)
However I *have* seen the 'Radiation warning' sign used a lot.
The history of the biohazrd and indeed many other warning signs are interesting too.
