#1 Wait I know, a red spot on white. Err, no that's too Japanese. How about a red circle, no some one will convert it to the international traffic symbol. How about a red MD symbol, you know the doctors intertwined serpents. Err, no some one will confuse aid workers with odctors and sue.

Jesus Christ of all the stupid things to be argueing about

#4 Aye, but if it's a dilithium crystal who's got a problem with that?

#5 I think two red dots, positioned horizontally, with an upturned crescent below. All of this, in a circle. Something like this, but on its side:

#8 whatever the symbol, honor the intent. In other words, Paleo smuggling of fighters and weapons in Red Crescent ambulances has put them beyond the pale.

#9 Now, Frank, that's just crazy talk. Nothing good can come from holding Palestinians to the same standards as the rest of humanity. Haven't you learned that yet?

#10 Start with a cross, extend each arm by an equal measure on a perpendicular to the right Oh wait...that's the UN flag.

#11 Here is an idea for a flag. How about a white background...with me so far? Good.

Then in the upper left, paint a moderately small red crescent. That's right.

Next paint a red archimedes spiral on the white background. Start it just to the right of the red crescent. Leave some space in the center.

At the center paint a sizeable but not too large black dot. And there you have it.

Start with the Crescent, spiral in on a trail of blood to a black hole, which represents oblivion. If you want to, put a little flow arrow on the start of the spiral near the crescent. That way people will not get confused and think that that the crescent and all it stands for comes out of the black hole.

If the flag will be flown in the Northern Hemisphere, make the spiral counterclockwise. If it is flown in the southern hemisphere, make it clockwise. If you print it on both sides, make images mirror images and it is useable worldwide.

#12 I propose an international Ouija board project to create a uniquely acceptable symbol to all represented religions/nations, which could all hold on to the "indicator". Obviously the proper symbol is a large dot.
