In my opinion. The symbols stand out easily on the backgrounds you are using. The synthetic images you make are too different from the images you really want to perform well on.
I would work on trying to collect more data or do more classic data augmentation.

It would be quite difficult to generate more realistic synthetic examples. One issue you have is the square color background around the object. You should try use a background remover tool so that you just have the black lines of the symbol.

Initially, my thoughts were going into the direction: "when I train with so random backgrounds but clearly visible symbols on top, the production model will later find laundry symbols on any kind of image the user sends".

First I had the symbols transparent on the background, but it was already super hard for a human to find the symbols, so I thought in the real dataset, the laundry symbols will be always on a single colored background. That's why I started adding random background colors.
