Great post! You’ve shown how versatile this iconic logo can be. My favorite is the pillow form. Just like the Union Jack, the red cross is all over the design world…..I love them both!
Will you be spending Thanksgiving in Japan? I wish you a wonderful and warm Thanksgiving.
Very best from DC,
Loi

But there are actually strict Geneva Convention rules about usage to preserve the use of the symbol for protection and mercy.

I hope I haven’t broken those rules in this post!

There has to be some reasoning behind this as to why we regard it as such.. Do you know Jacq? It looks like a “Plus” sign a positive mark -what ever I love it be it simple red on white, or vivid colours….
