The current design was introduced at the end of 2009. Black and white icons were used until June 2009, when the newly color-coded PEGI icons were announced, with green for 3 and 7, yellow for 12 and 16 and red for 18. Plus signs were removed from the icons, and the background text changed from 'ISFE' from the old, black-and-white icons to 'PEGI' from the new, color-coded PEGI icons 

8 content descriptors are also used.

Fear, Sex, Discrimination, Bad Language, Violence, Gambling, Drugs, Online.
