Speaking of bad design, who thought it was a good idea to blink the labels in the animation, immediately after saying half of people asked knew none of the symbols?

Also it seems like if the intent of the logos is to be easily looked up for reference, the real UX failure is in the washing machines rather than the tags. Why don't the machines just stamp a reference table by the control panel?
Agreed. I had to watch the animation cycle a dozen times to address my curiosity on what the current symbols mean. Should have been two images like below, but with the text.

Thanks for this. I thought I noticed an error and was able to see.

The 70/60 degree temp icons both say 70 in the text below. :D
