Identity Crisis

As you may or may not be aware, I work in both hospital and community pharamcy and so have a somewhat different perspective of pharmacy than most others. Something I've noticed, and which is starting to grate on me a little, is that pharmacy has no real symbolic representation anymore.

We've had, the good old reliable outside every, (almost every, maybe just a few then, okay you can't really see it but it must be there somewhere) four point green cross, the white (noone actually wears one but lets put it on whenever we're photographed) lab coat, not to mention the pharmacists greatest most frequently used tool (which we now keep just for show or in old store rooms covered in dust) the mortar and pestle.

So I put it to the new regulator and the new professional body, the unions, groups, students and tutors, to come up with something. Anything. Completely new or recycled. Just something that can represents the present day version of pharmacy.
