I've been wondering if in the Faerun mythos there is a commen sign that bards wear, a symbol of recognition and I'm not talking about the symbol of a like minded diety.

I found it a commen theme in several fantasy book series I've read that Bards often wear a certain symbol, to define them as bard, and I was wondering if the Faerun setting has something likewise.

There's no continental or global symbol for the bard, but there are some societies of artists who do wear their own symbols. Like exclusive clubs, in various cities, countries, or regions.

To my knowledge no such thing exists (to a great degree) right now in Amia, but if you want to get it rolling the opportunity is there.

The symbol of a Bard is several large armoured men dryhumping their legs in exchange for buffs.

I supose the easiest symbol to put next to any music musician etc would be the quaver, a filled black dot with a line on the right going up with a little tail coming off to the right and down slightly. (If its not a quaver hit me, I should know this by now)

That or convert the maiden logo to say Iron Ogre and put it in your portrait

I'd also venture to say anyone with a type of instrument or a strong voice that seem to be the adventuring sort is most likely a bard.

They aren't impossible to spot after all, unless they are being secretive.
