To the right of the letters, a detailed graphic showcases two skeletal hands gently supporting a classic oil lamp topped with a rising flame. This symbol connects directly to historical nursing heritage, contrasted humorously by the gritty bones and modern street vernacular. Together, the distressed lettering and skeletal artwork form an unforgettable tribute to the nursing trade.
