pharmacy sign

Green cross symbol

A pharmacy sign is the symbol displayed outside drugstores—typically a green cross in Europe or a mortar and pestle in the United States.

The green cross, often illuminated and sometimes animated, has become so ubiquitous that it functions as a universal indicator of where to buy medications: I spotted a pharmacy sign down the street.
