Is there a symbol available through ArcMap (I'm using 10.3.1) that looks somewhat like the Google Maps marker symbol? We have a webmap that was created using Google Maps Engine and apparently we have a need to do this differently now (cough cough). We will be using ArcGIS Server and the ArcGIS javascript API. We thought it would be best if the map changed as little as possible, so I'm looking for one that looks like the old familiar …
I know that it is possible to create your own symbols using a graphic but the ones I have attempted look pretty horrible. Using some version of the one I just pasted here could potentially work but I wondered if there was one the looks closer than "Circle 3" from the list below (the green circle with a black dot). I could make it red but it doesn't have that "tied to the map" look that the Google Marker symbol has (not to mention it's instant recognition value).
I looked through the symbols available to me and didn't find anything better. Even something remotely close would be fine with me.

You could take a look at the maki https://www.mapbox.com/maki/ icon set from mapbox. They've got a couple of teardroped shaped symbols (
and 
), and are downloadable as SVG and PNG, and if you grab the github repository there's an ArcGIS Style file. As an added bonus they're released under a creative commons license so you can use them where you like.
