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 eager to adorn your car with something very artistic, but not as permanent as a sticker decal, our car magnets are the ideal option for you. These round car magnets and square car magnets are just as expressive as stickers, but can be moved around easily to satisfy your creative vision.

Your personalized car magnets are available for purchase in two shapes and two sizes. We carry round and square editions; each shape can either be 6 by 6 inches, or 10 by 10 inches, depending on your needs. Both versions are 1 millimeter thick, which is considered, within the industry, as the ideal thickness for automobile magnets. The magnetic car decals will adhere to any smooth, metal surface of your cars body, such as the trunk door or a side panel. However, please note that some vehicles are constructed from fiberglass bodies, which prevents the adhesion of anything magnetic. We advise that you test your vehicle before purchasing these magnets.

To clean your custom car magnets, hand wash it with warm water and mild soap. Allow the magnet to properly air dry before re-applying it to a surface. For proper care, we advice that you move your magnet every couple of weeks; the magnet will shield the cars paint from UV rays and produce inconsistent fading if placed in the same place over a prolonged time. Be sure to remove your magnetic car sticker before washing your car.

Application Instructions:

• Affix magnet to any smooth, metal surface
• Move magnet every couple of weeks to prevent inconsistent fading of car paint

Care Instructions:

• Hand wash with warm water and mild soap
• Let air dry before re-applying
• Remove magnet prior to washing car
