Change the red cross emblem

[deniz1a]

In the Getting Help section the emblem of Red Cross is shown. I think either the religion neutral Red Crystal, adopted in 2006, or the logo with both red cross and red crescent of IFRC should be shown.

I have never seen those symbols before. What I had in mind is something resembling "first aid" so I suggest we go for

or

to get rid of religious non-sense completely.

My vote would be for the lifebelt. IFRC's position is that their symbols
should not be used as a generic 'support' / 'help' / 'first-aid' symbol
anyway.

👍. We'll need to make a less glossy version that fits with the website design, though.

Yes lifebelt is better and I think used in many programs as help icon. And I had never seen the Red Crystal logo either, just wanted to avoid any religious issues.

How about the help icon from the Tango Project?

There is also an .svg version if this is too small. It's under the apps directory of tango.

That is because it is part of a Tango derived icon theme: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Gnome-help-browser.svg
