So, what's new?

There are now only two frames used around the symbols:

Triangle (inverted)		This frame looks like a traffic yield sign. It means that the container is dangerous.
Octagon (eight sides)		This frame looks like a traffic stop sign. It means that the contents inside the container are dangerous.
