The Red Cross symbol. The Red Cross on white background was the original protection symbol declared at the 1864 Geneva Convention. The ideas to introduce a uniform and neutral protection symbol as well as its specific design originally came from Dr. Louis Appia, a Swiss surgeon, and Swiss General Henri Dufour, founding members of the International Committee.

The Red Cross, Red Crescent and Red Crystal emblems are officially recognized by the movement. De jure, the Red Lion and Sun emblem is also an official emblem, though it has fallen to disuse. [55] Various other countries have also lobbied for alternative symbols, which have been rejected because of concerns of territorialism. [56] [57]
Please stop removing the white background from the various Red Cross national society emblems. The white background, in all cases, is an integral part of these logos because international law protects this symbol (red cross or red crescent on WHITE background).
