In a research paper, I'd like to refer to some specific markers on a chart. One marker looks like an x, and the other one is small circle.
What would be proper terms? Circular marker and x-marker?

Usually the color varies as well, and you can then say, "the red circle" or "the blue cross"– JimCommented Oct 17, 2013 at 7:49

@Jim: In this case the color doesn't vary.– RabarberskiCommented Oct 17, 2013 at 7:50

Cross and Rondel - although this is not commonly used in day to day English. In the military (airforce) a rondel is the simple insignia on the side of aircraft. I believe it comes from French and is the diminutive of "round".
