Our Logo

Our logo was created by Donna Sorenson, a designer from Austin, Texas. Bibi and I met with Donna several times in person, had many phone discussions and emails, and finally came up with our logo as you see it today. Donna thinks it is one of the best she has ever created, and we love the way it speaks to the spirit of what we want to accomplish here in the office.

The logo consists of two main images intertwined with each other. The first, and most obvious, is the image of a leaf. I feel the leaf conveys much of what we strive for. While a single leaf blends and becomes an almost invisible part of a natural living thing, a closer look reveals an incredibly intricately designed functional marvel that also stands on its own. This is what we strive for with each element of dentistry that we provide for our patients. Like a leaf, levels of design and form come together to create a work of art that blends perfectly with its surroundings. Each stands on its own functionally and esthetically, as well as being a seamless part of the entire oral and facial complex. This blending of individual and overall beauty and function is the heart of our mission toward our patients.

The second part of the logo is more subtle, but still an essential part of the design. Closer inspection of the leaf shows a symbol for a fish woven into the pattern. The fish has long been a symbol for Christians, and here it represents our Christian commitment to caring, compassion, and missionary work. Several of us are active in our local, state, and international health care missions. (If you are interested in participating with health care missions, just visit with one of us and we would be happy to share some ideas with you.) Here in the office we strive to treat our patients as friends and care for their entire person, as well as their mouth.

All said, our logo is a creative expression of our passions and commitments, drawn into an artistic symbol. You will see the "leaf" in our office in many places such as glasswork, living plants, and even the bathroom. The "fish" is something you will see in us.
