The green cross is generally the recommended alternative.

Note that this isn't normal copyright, the red cross is protected under the Geneva Conventions

If video games or art or movies are depicting the appropriate scenarios, such as a scene involving army medics, wouldn't that be a constructive use of the symbol? It would spread awareness and education.

A green cross would confuse people.

A green cross would confuse no one. It's already used all over the world. You've probably seen it and the color hasn't even crossed your mind.

It's already associated with weed and pharmacies. The trademark is also already registered in some major countries.

Where do you get this confidence that there's no confusion with the green cross?

The continents of Europe, Africa, Australia... I've also seen it used in China but I'm not as familiar with Asia because I haven't lived there.

I'm sorry, but if your only example is the US then you're likely to be wrong about a lot of things.

People have already replied to you to let you know that various major European countries use the green cross to refer to a generic pharmacy.

You already acknowledge this elsewhere, and you've also already acknowledged that there's special meaning to the red cross as opposed to merely referring to pharmacies.

I don't know what you're doing excluding Asia or the USA either, while saying

> A green cross would confuse no one.

And then following up with

> I'm sorry, but if your only example is the US then you're likely to be wrong about a lot of things.

Using the green cross for a pharmacy supports the suggested use as a generic symbol for health...

I didn't exclude Asia, I stated that my experience there is more limited than the continents I listed. The US isn't a reliable authority on any international standards.

If you started up a new video game and the health packs had green crosses instead of red ones, would you be confused?
