My mum has an aromatherapy and fragrance manufacturing business and over the last ten years the requirements and regulations for different symbols on the products has become increasingly onerous. Take one of the products the make - essential oils. Its a little brown bottle like this and is measures about 6cm tall - like this one!At present the bottle has a lovely green leafy designed label with a barcode but all the time - every few months the EU brings out another set of labelling requirements. What a nightmare for the designers. Their lovely label is gradually being replaced by a set of orange signs and open lids and to give you an idea of how horrible this stuff is have a look here. Is it not time the designers stood up against all these rules and regulations.
