Red Cross / Crescent / Crystal


On January 14 2007 the Red Crystal was recognized under the Geneva Conventions as the third official emblem of the Red Cross Movement.

The new emblem is designed to be easily recognizable, and to make it more universally acceptable throughout different cultures and religions.

No country will be obliged to change their emblem, but all will be required to respect it in the same manner as the cross/crescent.
