At the moment medics have a red diamond symbol in the hire screen... so it's quite obvious.
Hmm... you're right. I recall that I was wondering "why the doctors hire screen marked with diamond, not with red cross". I thought that is a specific emblem for X-Com's medic corpse, not the official RC&RC org's logo.
But there we ran into dilemma: either take the RD without any explanations (and "recruit" more misunderstanders, who will think about RD as about "X-Com medicorpse emblem"), either make the corresponding note in UFOpaedia in the "Medikit" entry.
As all of participants could see, my English is imperfect, then I'll try, but results may be worster than I intended them to be.
The United World still had have religious differences between different cultures. And the Medic Corpses of international organizations' armed forces, like UN peacemakers or X-Com, adopted the very neutral symbol of Red Crystal as an emblem of theirs. That symbol was approved on Geneva conference at December 7, 2005. Details are available in United Earth's WIKIpaedia.
Because of international nature of X-Com, I'll suggest to adopt the second rule of Red Crystal usage:
For indicative use on foreign territory, a national society which does not use one of the recognized symbols as its emblem has to incorporate its unique symbol into the Red Crystal, based on the previously mentioned condition about communicating its unique symbol to the state parties of the Geneva Conventions.So, the official X-Com MC's emblem MAY look like "Red Crystal with embedded X-Com logo".
