A picture naming what is in it.
Also known as: Content warning icon, Descriptor pictogram
The small pictogram accompanying a classification mark to name the kind of content that produced it.
Names the kind of content on which a classification was based — violence, language, drugs, gambling, fear.
Contexts: Public information
Separates the reason from the verdict, which lets a parent apply their own judgement rather than the board's: a twelve for violence and a twelve for language are the same band and not the same decision.
Contexts: Public information
The icon sets differ between schemes, so a descriptor understood in one country may be absent or mean something else in another.
Descriptor vocabularies are scheme-specific and not interchangeable.
Contexts: Public information
A small square icon showing a fist, a syringe, a spider, a card suit or similar, printed in a row beside the age band.
