Proposal for a new symbol

image by Nicolas Deprez, 13 September 2005

As per the daily Swiss paper "24 Heures" of yesterday the International Committee of the Red Cross is planning a new flag. This new one is to avoid distinction between Christians and Muslims. As you can see, the project is very simple for everyone and without any distinctive religious items.

I believe this has been under discussion for some time- at least five years. It's more often referred to as the Red Diamond.
