Kudos for Jos�! But there is an error brought on to us by the US Army. The winged staff with two snakes does not represent Medicine but Commerce (and usually Mercury is seen holding it). The military selected the caduceus (on the grounds that it was also used to represent neutrality when confronting sides in war), spread the err-concept all over their trucks, the net, stock image CD's and Microsoft Clip-Arts. This has even permeated into fonts. Asclepius is represented as the Greek god of healing. Asclepius carries a staff without wings and only one snake. We can really argue on and on about this subject. Personally, since Mercury is also used sometimes to represent thieves and lawyers... I would recommend the staff over the caduceus for Care logos. Kind regards, Daniel
PS: a Google search done while writing this found me a very nice image which sort of wraps the idea nicely: http://drblayney.com/Asclepius.html -----Mensaje original----- De: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] En nombre de Elpidio Latorilla Enviado el: Jueves, 18 de Marzo de 2004 17:43 Para: care2x announcement; care2x developers CC: Josi Elias Asunto: [Care2002-developers] logos for care2x Hi all, addtional logo designs were sent by Jose Elias from Brazil.
