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.

In my limited experience it’s more of a southern European symbol. For example in the US I’d associate it with cannabis.

Well, I suppose with healthcare the way it is in the US... maybe smoking cannabis before going to a hospital is a good idea.

>>bingid+(OP)
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?

>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.

>>jdavis+U
Definitely a thing in Finland, which is not in southern Europe.

>>bingid+Q3
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.

That is uncalled for.

It's objectively true. The US ignores many widely accepted international standards, and in multiple cases stands alone in doing so. It's not the defacto world view and shouldn't be treated as such.

>>threat+Dm
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?
