why do pharmacies have these signs with whacky animations?

I've seen these all over Europe. Some have simple images of the cross flashing, some have windows screensaver esque animations, and some have 3d renders of various things rotating in all sorts of ways. Why is that? Wouldn't a simple green cross be enough to get the point across, or do they need to be overly verbose? Here's the full video instead of a gif

The video is sped up quite a bit, but I've definitely seen them before in Portugal.

Damn, in what region? Never spotted anything like that!

Lisboa. I don't remember where but it was around the city.
