Too generic symbols are just not clear. Some examples as a symbol ("pars
pro toto") can be better instead and is used in multiple cases (look for
example at fast food or playground icons).

We have the same problem with hospital symbol. There's even an official
generic symbol that we could use, called "red crystal" (see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Red_Cross_and_Red_Crescent_Movement#The_Red_Crystal
) and I like it very much, but we still use red cross, because I think
nobody would recognize it.

I invite you to discuss this issue here:
