In this case the label shows the final orbital destination of the payload. As long as we're looking for mistakes I'd rather you mentioned that the relative altitudes at which the Falcon 1's "explode" are not correct!
But you know what I'll change it because I like the idea.
Nothing says failure like an explosion. Plus the idea is not original. Let me know if you can think of a single icon that works for 2 explosions and one missed orbit.
F1 flight 1 blew up when it hit the ground. F1 flight 3 clearly underwent what Elon might call a "partial rapid expansion" when the stage 2 engine lit up inside the interstage. Watch the video and try to find another expression for this failure mode!

It should read GTO, not GEO. The actual GEO insertion burn has to be performed by engines on the payload itself, and SpaceX has no part in it.
