I am not a "fan" of TLA's, but the three letter acronym EBM seems to be in common use. Perhaps some creative soul would feel challenged to make that into a logo, or devise one based on other symbols. What do you need this for?
Somewhat separately, I believe it was Dave Sackett who once quoted Ernest Hemingway's remark about "What a good editor needs most...". One of Dave's acolytes changed Hemingway's last two words to "Crap detector". Without meaning to seem coarse (regardless of the truth), in teaching residents about "EBM" tools I receive favourable responses to calling them, and their successful users "CRAPP (as in Critical Appraisal, of course) Detectors".
Cheers, and a peaceful spring weekend to you.
Sincerely,

Is there a logo/symbol etc. commonly associated with evidence based health care?
