We have an internal web-based dashboard that shows the current or last state of most of our automation apps and their tasks. Each app is listed and color-coded to indicate its state: green for okay/information only, yellow for an error, red for a critical error. I want to add symbols to aid in quickly determining these states without resorting to colors for any folks with a color vision deficiency.
Is there a standard or widely used set of symbols that represent those three states? If not, what symbols would you suggest?
Edit: If only I could spell 'state'...

Those could work. Hmm...

Good. No symbol
Ill. Yellow warning triangle ⚠️
Terminal. red X (in a circle or not)❌

Thanks. I was considering the warning triangle for errors, and debating the use of either a fire or a fire extinguisher for criticals. Currently no symbol means the app hasn't reported anything.

I don't know if there is a standard but here's what I have used in the past :
check mark = OK
exclamation = Error
big X = Critical Error
I used these because there are icons in a variety of styles and sizes available for all of them, such as for the message boxes in windows.

Thanks. Those are also available in various HTML character sets which are easier to use than image icons. I'm using the check mark elsewhere, so I might need to find an alternative for one case.

Um, how about words? In the past icons used to make sense, but now they are often times just a symbol that no one can initially decipher (hence your question).

When I posted this thread:
Do We Have Any Aviation Fanatics Here?[^]
I was hoping there was at least someone out there who shared my fascination with aviation. Not only am I astounded to see how many of you are aviation enthusiasts, but I'm extremely glad to see that I'm not alone. What a great thread!
I'd love to see your favorite aviation-related videos. If you have a favorite photo, share that as well. Do you have a favorite aircraft? post a photo of it. I don't care if it's a bird. If it *flies, and it's one of your favorite videos or favorite photos, then share it.
*house flies, mosquitos, and moths are prohibited
One of the best videos, ever.

Okay, now it's your turn.

It's got "Air Traffic Control" in the title. That works. Anything from SNL works, too.
That's a funny video. When I first started flight school, that's what it felt like. I've
heard it from several people - one of the most difficult things to learn are the radios.
I agree with them.

I just shot tonight's Starlink launch, if that counts.

Around 1980, I was visiting Cape Canaveral, Floridaand was on a tour of the Space Launch Complex there. The tour bus driver took us to the end of the runway, parked the bus and announced that the Space Shuttle was coming in soon, piggybacked on a Boeing 747.
We waited, cameras at the ready. Soon enough the aircraft came in and I was able to take a photo.
It was years before the internet so that photo is probably in some album I can’t locate.😒
