THE ARMY LOGO
Posted on December 04, 2012 by Tope
The military arm of a nation is one of its fundamental units. In fact leaders of several nations are referred to as commander-in-chief of the armed forces. Since military trainings and missions are characterized by peculiar signs and imagery, a functional logo is therefore vital to military success. Hence an army logo must depict strength, resilience, vigor, conquest or such other attributes.
The design of the army logo of several nations actually might have depended on the choice of imagery by the designer or group of designers. But more often, there are obvious features which fall in line with profound values of the nation and its armed forces.
Furthermore, since the human psyche can be largely developed by imagery, it is therefore important for the armed forces of a nation to be backed by great inspiration—a military logo or the national emblem, among others. In effect, during times of fierce war when it appears that foes are gaining upper hand, a look at the army logo should dissipate adequate strength to fuel the passion of a vanquished soldier. In addition, since the armed forces can be said to hold the life of a nation, then the army logo continues to play great role in combating the enemies of peace.

Photography has indeed become an integral part of human existence. Since the invention of the camera, the art of photography has known diverse, tremendous and fascinating improvements.
It’s actually interesting. Once upon a time, to take a “black and white” picture, the cameraman will have to appear with a big machine, and then spend couple of hours developing the photo in a dark room. However, these days, the reverse is the case. Now virtually every person is a photographer, since devices such as mobile phones now have inbuilt camera; and as a matter of fact, anyone can have almost anything covered at nearly anytime.
However, as casual and leisurely as the art of photography appears to have become, professionalism cannot be put aside. In fact, searches still go on for well-trained photographers in fields like journalism and a number of other areas.
No doubt, companies that offer services with respect to photography, demand compelling logos that will showcase the importance of this indispensable art to humankind; especially in these modern times.
Photography inspires humanity. In photos we can revel in nature; bask in aura radiated by the faces of loved ones even when they are far away; and also, have a feel of pleasant memories.
We are indebted to photography. It gave us, in addition to several others, mind-boggling pictures of man stepping on the moon. Hence, this unique industry must be garnished with awesome, propelling logos that will cause the mind to soar.
EMERGENCY SERVICES LOGOS

Emergencies have always been with man. Right from the unit of society—the individual, to families, cities, states and nations, emergencies are known almost on daily basis; hence the need to appreciate and foster logos meant for emergency situations.
As diverse situations around the globe continue to demand prompt emergency response, people must become conversant with signs, images and logos which have been crafted to aid prevention; and also, safety of people and properties during such occurrences.
Thanks to several emergency service organizations that have helped to lessen the effect of both artificial and natural adverse situations. However, there is more to be done. In fact, in spite of the ability of emergency agencies to predict such occurrences, incidences can defy predictions. Therefore there is need for utmost alertness at all times. And this must be especially on the part of government, Non-governmental agencies, the media, and the people too.
Clearly, it is important that there be proper enlightenment, especially with the aid of symbols and explicit write-ups. Furthermore, emergency organizations must make sure to craft proper logos by which they can be identified for what they stand for. By these and much more, the effects of contrary situations can be lowered.
MEDICAL LOGOS
Posted on January 23, 2012 by Tope
One of the characteristics of established institutions or reputable fields of human endeavor is the adoption of an emblem, logo or symbol by which they are generally known. Medical practice in fact is perceived to be as old as man himself. And over the years, the practice has emerged to be indispensable to human existence.
For centuries now, renowned medical organizations across the globe have adopted the Staff of Asclepius symbol while some others have chosen the Caduceus.
As a matter of fact, the practice of medicine and health care in general is experiencing a dichotomy. There are breathtaking breakthroughs in both preventive and curative medicine. Today, we can talk about hemispherectomy, mastectomy, hysterectomy and other “tomies” and also, transplants. The advent of medical procedures such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is also one of the remarkable advancements in modern medicine. Furthermore, a disease such as poliomyelitis has become an occurrence of the past in almost every part of the world.
However, the challenges that continue to face the medical profession are quite enormous too. The HIV/AIDS endemic is still defying curative medication and the eruption of cases of cancer all over the globe continues to be a puzzle to medical scientists.
In all, it’s not time to give up as these symbols of medicine which have outlived centuries continue to inspire the medical profession.
