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.

Iron On Transfers perfect for tee shirts, but can also be used on other apparel such as bodysuits, bib, pants, shirts and even on pillows and totes. They can be applied to any fabric that can be ironed at the higher temperatures.

Our Graphic Iron on Transfers are printed in full color using Direct-to-Film (DTF) technology. This is a weedless technology allowing the production of the most intricate designs with ease and incredible accuracy. All you have to do is place and iron on the transfer onto the apparel or fabric that you are decorating. Follow our instructions on How to Apply an Iron on Heat Transfer

We do NOT have minimums! You can buy 1 for that tote bag, 2 for the throw pillows or 30 for your team shirts. You select from one of our designs and customize it to suit your needs or your can create your own from the 1000's of graphic and patterns that we have in our system. If you have your own vector art, we can create the transfer for you. If you don't find what you are looking for, please contact us and we will try best to accommodate you.

Our Graphic iron transfers are available in 4 sizes - S, M, L & XL; each size has preset and maximum dimensions, however you can customize the transfer to YOUR EXACT size. So for example if you are making 5 different sized tee shirts for your family - you can size each transfer to fit the tee shirt - so your XS tee shirt will NOT look like it has an oversized transfer and your 2XL sized tees shirt will not look like it has a undersized transfer on it.

The most important thing when buying iron on transfer is MEASUREMENTS. Measure the height and width of area on the items where you will apply the transfer. Use the maximum width as your guide to purchase the transfer. Laying paper in the your dimensions on the item can help you visualize how it will look.

Most of our designs contain a graphic and a name because with us personalization is always available to you. You can simply change the text or remove if you prefer just the graphic. The choice is yours!
