Section 172.502(a) of the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR) prohibits display on a motor vehicle or rail car of any sign or other device that, by its color, design, shape, or content could be confused or conflict with any placard prescribed in the HMR. This prohibition is intended to limit the potential for dilution of hazard warning communication provided by the appropriate hazardous materials placards. The logo has a square-on-point shape and size similar to a placard and it is yellow, as is the Oxidizer placard. Based on the color, size, and shape, the logo could be confused with a placard prescribed in the HMR and, therefore, is prohibited under 172.502(a).
