Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use the Red Cross symbol in medical SVG designs?
The Red Cross symbol is a protected trademark of the International Red Cross. You cannot use it commercially without authorization. Use the generic medical cross (same shape, different context) or the Star of Life symbol for emergency medical SVG designs.
Where can I download free medical SVG icons?
SVGRepo.com, Flaticon.com, and The Noun Project all have large medical SVG icon libraries. Many are free with attribution. Health Iconography (healthicons.org) is a fully free, open-source medical SVG icon set specifically designed for health applications.
What's the difference between the caduceus and Rod of Asclepius?
Rod of Asclepius: one snake on a staff  the correct medical symbol (WHO, most medical organizations). Caduceus: two snakes and wings  actually a symbol of commerce/trade (Hermes), incorrectly used as medical symbol in the US. Both vectorize well as SVG.
Can I use medical SVG icons in a commercial health app?
Depends on the icon license. Health Icons (healthicons.org) are MIT-licensed  free for commercial use. Flaticon free tier requires attribution; Flaticon premium removes that requirement. Always check the specific license before commercial app use.
