It has happened before. The ICRC are totally fanatical about the
protection of their emblems. Our symbol is mauve rather than red, so we
can get away with it like that. If we render a red cross (or crescent or
crystal) on our maps it will take a fraction of a nanosecond before the
ICRC (or some national organisation) are on our case.
Example quote from the Irish Red Cross website:
"We frequently issue requests for organisations and companies to desist
from unauthorised use of the emblem which typically involves first aid
kits, medical products, surgeries, pharmacies, repair services,
children's toys, maps and street directories. This normally entails
either reproduction or stylising of the emblem."
