What the design shows

Below the central emblem, the words “NOT GIVEN” appear stacked in clean white serif type that balances the distressed upper title. The weathered texture across the wings and lettering gives the graphic a well-loved retro appearance. Everything in this composition ties together to celebrate the proud tradition of the medical nursing profession.
