The alt version is a little better in this respect though. Perhaps go for the "No Entry" type thing.... a red circle with a white line through it? Personally I always thought of something red with a cross in it like that to be more like something the user would press to say "No" rather than a stop thing (Although the red cross on the white hexagon looks more like "level railroad crossing").... I think I've attached a mockup, but I can never be sure these days.
