We see the standard warning text, in yellow, chyroned onto a bright blue background.

On a blue background, we see the text “Warning” in a white geometric font, with the warning text below in white all-caps Futura font.

On a black background, we see the text “Warning” in a red Optima Bold font, with the warning text below in white Times New Roman font.

On a dark teal background, we see the text “WARNING” in a white all-caps serif font, with the warning text below in all-caps and the same font.
