The International Red Cross has alternative symbols including the Red Crescent and the Red Crystal. The crescent symbol was adopted during the Turkish-Russo War (1876-1878) because the Cross was seem as objectionable to Muslims, due to its association with the Christian Crusades. The Red Crystal was adopted as an alternative to the Red Star of David for similar reasons.
The Red Cross, Red Crescent, and Red Crystal are used generically to symbolize medical aid personnel and vehicles, and to mark hospitals during wartime.
