List of icons and what they mean
Here's the stuff I've figured out so far:

----------

Green House Icon: Your House.

Red House Icon: Breaking and Entering in progress. If you're a cop, kill the intruder for money and loot!

Cross: Preacher speaking on the end of days.

Guitar: Musician performing with an instrument.

Green Sheriff Badge: Police who are investigating someone else's crime and won't bother you.

Red Sheriff Badge: Police who are investigating your crime and will attack you.

Green Ambulance Logo: EMTs who will futilely do CPR on a dead NPC.

Red Balaclava With Gun: Bandit kill team. Use extreme caution as later on in the week most of them will have rifles.

Red Balaclava With Magnifying Glass: Bandit search team. Less dangerous than the kill team, but can still surprise you if you don't take care and get the drop on them.

Yellow Balaclava With Bag: Robbers, they will try to hold people up and take their things. Unsure if they'll try to rob you, or if you can actually give them your stuff. Best to just kill them since they don't usually have guns.

Green Balaclava With Gun: Friendly "Bandits". These are usually military guys. Long as you don't aim at them or attack them they'll leave you be.

Red Fire: Explosion that caused a fire.

Red Three People: Fire Department. Despite being red they aren't hostile. They'll try to use their fire extinguishers to put out fires.

Pretty solid list. The only other missing early game icon would be the Megaphone icon. Which indicates a protesting crowd shouting "tell us the truth!" with picket signs. I have noticed they are sometimes hostile to police.

REd House icon is also a enemy bandit base, you have to locate and raid them for very good survival loot.

@Eternal Silence Pink house icon is a party. Basically a house with music, NPCs dancing, and the ability to yoink any and everything from the house (but I've noticed that when I yoink all the beer, the party just leaves the house lol)

Actually, the red house means it's a bandit hideout while the yellow balaclava with bag represents burglars that will break inside homes and take whatever they want. They won't attack you unless you do but you should kill them since they will literally take all the stuff you stored

Those are house parties. You can walk in without being attacked, take all their stuff, eat all their food, steal all their beer without consequences (except to your waist line)

I experienced a PINK TENT logo, that turned out to be a small military style camp with hostile military like survivors.

If you pick the police officer occupation, then you get $5 every time you hit someone bad. It's important to note that the military can enter houses without consequences. They are legally allowed to enter homes and break down doors or shatter windows. Ofc, I take advantage of them breaking in to single them out, kill them, and take their ♥♥♥♥ without consequence. Valuable loot they can spawn with includes: M14 and mags, M16 and mags, Magazine fed pistols (I don't remember which ones they can have), Boots, Military jacket, Helmet, Military bag, dufflebag (Useful if you use the mod allowing you to wear duffles on your lower back, plus Military duffle looks cooler than most other duffles), and Alice Belt and Suspenders (One of my favorite items added to B42 so far).

Colors in Order of Danger
  • Pink = Entertainment or Story.
  • Green = Friendly OR Neutral.
  • Yellow = Caution.
  • Red = Lethal.

Red does not always mean Hostile. Firefighters showing up to put out a (lethal) fire is Red.
Entertainment at Night, usually means a Party. You can go 'Dance', or help yourself to .. whatever.
Red Star/Badge = Always YOU. And they appear near or behind you. Find cover and defend.

The red house icon is a building that's being attacked by bandits. If you've come across one that's full of loot it's probably one where the occupants have been stocking up, it's quite common by day 3/4 for houses to be full of loot.

This is a nice list but what about the green icon of two guys high-fiving? Saw this one for the very first time a full day -after- the end of the week.
