Universal Russian age rating system icons
Task: to create a universal set of age restriction pictograms.
The law “On Protecting Children from Information Harmful to Their Health and Development” recently passed in Russia makes it mandatory for authors of TV programs, advertising producers, book and magazine publishers, designers and game developers to mark their products with age restriction signs.
A set of pictograms allows to use a ready-made sign instead of creating a new one every time.
Each sign has its own target audience
| Sign | Restriction | Description |
|---|---|---|
 |
— | Information products for children under the age of six |
 |
for children aged 6 and older | Information products for children over the age of six |
 |
for children aged 12 and older | Information products for children over the age of twelve |
 |
for children aged 16 and older | Information products for children over the age of sixteen |
 |
unsuitable for children | Information prohibited from distribution to children |
The signs are available at no charge and work well against any background. Anyone who wishes to use the sign can choose the right color and size and place the sign anywhere without any restrictions.
The new signs will soon be seen on all screens and surfaces in the country.
— Take it out of your mouth!
— But mom!
— You’ll be free to do anything you want when you grow up
