INFORMATION ABOUT THE INSIGNIA / EMBLEM / LOGO:

The American Dental Association started using this insignia as the official symbol of dentistry in 1965. The emblem of dentistry is taken from Asclepius, a Greek god of medicine and healing. His symbol is a physician’s staff with a snake wrapped around it. The snake’s shedding of skin represented healing and rejuvenation. In honor of Asclepius, ancient Greeks would use non-venomous snakes in healing rituals and let them crawl freely on the floor among the sick and injured.

On the periphery of the emblem, you will notice two Greek letters, Delta ( Δ ) and Omicron ( Ο ). Delta represents dentistry, and Omicron is a symbol for odont, or tooth. The word “Dentistry” is inscribed upon the bottom half of the circle.

The interior of the circle is a particular shade of purple called lilac, which dates back to the National Association of Dental Faculties in 1897. To this day, dental graduates use purple in their gowns and caps, and the color is often found in dental publications.

In the center of the insignia there is snake coiled around a physician’s staff comes from Asclepius, the ancient Greek god of medicine and healing.  Behind the snake there are two branches bearing 20 berries and 32 leaves representative of the permanent and temporary teeth.

If you're in the market for a colorfully expressive addition to the exterior of your vehicle, our graphic car decals are the perfect accessory for you! These car stickers will bring a unique pop of your personality to any window of your car.

Your custom car window decal is printed digitally, on a high quality, air-egress vinyl, and then machine cut. Our window stickers have a straightforward, bubble-free application, due to the refined quality of our vinyl and the air-egress channels. Our default size is an 8 by 8 inches, but feel free to request a reduction in size if desired. While our monogram decals are best suited for initials, these car decals are suitable for graphics, text, or a combination of the two. Please note that if your artwork exceeds the weedable amount of cut lines, a representative will reach out to you to discuss how to best proceed with your order.

Once printed, we package your personalized car decal with a mask atop it and a liner on its bottom. When applying the sticker, remove the liner first, and place on a clean, oil-free surface. While you squeegee the decal to your vehicle's surface, gently peel back the front's mask at 180 degrees, producing a bubble-free application.

Application Instructions:

• Remove back liner and place on clean, oil-free surface
• Gently peel back front mast at 180 degrees
• Squeegee decal to the surface as you peel off the mask
