Q: What is the symbolism in your logo?
A: This is an original logo design that we created from some very old and ancient concepts that perhaps we are just beginning to understand in today's
modern and nuclear medicine and healthcare. The figure of the man is Leonardo Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man (1492) — the same year that Columbus
discovered America. Da Vinci designed this figure in a circle and a square to express admiration for the works of the 27th century BC
Roman architect, Vitruvius, who created De architectura. Vitruvian covers subjects which he saw as relating to architecture. This included many
aspects which range from medicine to mathematics, to astronomy, and to meteorology. In the Roman belief, architecture needed to take
into account everything touching on the physical and intellectual life of man and his surroundings. Vitruvius also studied human
proportions and his observation were captured in this drawing by Leonardo da Vinci (Homo Vitruvianus, “Vitruvian Man”).
Da Vinci refined these theories of proportions and perfect shapes of the circle and the square. The background of our logo is the Yin
and the Yang — the antitheses or mutual correlations, combining to create a unity of opposites, or two mutually correlated
opposites. The concept of yin and yang, two primal opposing but complementary principles or cosmic forces is thought to be found in
all non-static objects and processes in the universe. This paradox is the foundation of most branches of Chinese
philosophy, as well as traditional Chinese medicine. This medical theory asserts that processes of the human body are interrelated and in constant
interaction with the environment. Traditional Chinese medicine practitioners believe signs of disharmony help them to understand, treat
and prevent illness and disease.
