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.

Display your individual creativity across the surface of your laptop with our laptop decals! Customize the decal with a name, initial, or a beloved graphic! Or, order a set of coordinating vinyl stickers for your family's electronics! The options are limitless.

We print your laptop stickers on a high quality vinyl, with waterproof and fade resistant inks. The decal is then machine cut to the shape of the decal.

The result is a durable shaped decal that permanently adheres to your laptop. The standard size for these decals is 7" width x 5" height. However, you may customize your decal's size from 1" - 18" in both width and height.

For a graphic or photo, simply peel back a piece of the sticker, and using a scissors, remove only a sliver of the paper lining. Now, using the small piece of revealed adhesive, line up the sticker until it matches what you have in mind. Once aligned, secure the small piece of the sticker to the surface, and press on the rest of the sticker using a squeegee, credit card, or your hand. As you squeegee the sticker, the rest of the corresponding paper adhesive should peel off, and the sticker will adhere smoothly.

For an initial or monogram or a decal that has intricate details, the decal will be sandwiched between a bottom backing material and a top transfer film, Fold back a small corner of the backing material to align the decal. Once satisfied with position of decal, gradually pull backing material away and apply decal to the surface. Use a credit car or squeegee to ensure the decal is well adhered to your laptop or electronic device, then gently pull the top transfer film at a 45 degree angle.
