I saw a strange sign on a door to a geophysics lab in a museum in Switzerland. I was really curious about what it means and wanted to know if anyone is familiar with this sign.
Here's the full image of the door so you can see the context/type of work going on in the lab.

I'm also curious about what the two signs to the right of the one you indicated mean. (I'm guessing the one you indicated is a joke, but I could be wrong or partially missing the joke)

I notice that the sign:
- Doesn't quite match the other signs for scale or style
- Isn't obvious in what it's communicating (unlike normal warning signs)
- Looks like a monster (apparently "We Must All Stop ManBearPig" from South Park)
I conclude that it's a joke by the museum staff, much like this "velociraptor-free workplace" sign at the Field Museum in Chicago.

I didn't know what is the concept behind this? it seems scary and I don't think it is a joke and if joke what does it mean? Is that customary logo at geology?

@Monkia: ManBearPig is from the American animated comedy TV show South Park. It's clearly a joke. Probably someone who works in the lab is a fan of the show. It could be a joke with some deeper meaning, since the ManBearPig character was meant as an allegory for climate change, but it's hard to guess what exactly the person who put up the sign might have had in mind. It certainly isn't anything that's generally "customary" in geology or any other academic field.

@Monkia you won’t necessarily get the joke as it may be “lab” specific ie if most if the lab workers watch that show they may have had a conversation or several about it and that is an “in-house” reference to a particular episode or character for a reason they find funny or memorable. Outsiders won’t get it.
