I'm guessing those would be from Beacon Publications.  I've got a bunch
and have
been generally happy with them.

Two observations about their packs:

1) They don't undercoat their decals with white.  That means colors like
yellow 
   are going to be semi transparent and won't show up well on darker 
   backgrounds.

2) The actual selection is rather uninspired.  Just a few cautions
warnings and 
   radiation symbols in their sign package.  They're nicely done, and in
plenty 
   of different scales, but you're not going to see anything new.

We're trying to addrss both of those problems with our decal sets.  Most
of them
will be overprinted on a white background so they'll show up better on
dark
colors.  For our set of warning signs, we're going to try and include a
variety
of interesting and SF looking additions to the standard set.

I'll have more in the way of actual examples shortly...

P.S. Do you know that your signature file has a ton of whitespace after
it?
