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.

Patio rugs add color and warmth to your home's outdoor space, so create a custom patio rug to suit your personal style and match it to the colors of your outdoor décor. Have it personalized with a monogram, initial, name or a combination of these - the choice is yours.

Our custom patio area rugs are velvety soft and smooth, with a short pile, beautiful sewn corners and edges for a refined and exquisite finished look. The poly chenille face is printed with your design and is sure to brighten up any room with its fabulous look. They have just enough cushion to feel comfortable under foot but not soak up water in the weather and offer a quick drying material.

Our area rugs are available in multiple sizes; they are listed below:

Trying to decide between one of these and our indoor/outdoor rugs? These patio rugs all have finished sewn edges where the indoor/outdoor rugs are simply a cut edge. These rugs also have a slightly thicker pile than the indoor/outdoor rugs. Additionally the indoor/outdoor rug has a rubber type backing where these have a softer backing which requires an anti-slip mat to prevent movement.

If using these patio rugs on a slick surface such as smooth finished concrete you may need to add an anti-slip mat under your area rug to prevent the rug from slipping. That will make these rugs a perfect addition to any space!

Design your rug exactly the way you want it! Choose the perfect background, graphic, text, and more! With these products in particular you are able to design them vertically OR horizontally, depending on what you prefer. Whatever you choose, let us know if you have any problems.

Due to the large shipping size of the 8'x10' rugs do not qualify for standard shipping or our free shipping codes.
