One of the several designs for old rating icons shown on Israeli television.
Television content ratings on Israeli television were not used until April 2003, when the now-defunct free-to-air television channels Channel 2 and Channel 10 began to display suggested age ratings for all programs shown on the aforementioned channels. Later, the rating system began to be used on all Israeli channels, including cable and satellite channels. Originally, the limit tags came in three colors—yellow, orange, and red—often accompanied with a recommended age—but their overall designs varied from channel to channel.
