This stylized caduceus depicts a central staff topped with wings and encircled by two intertwined serpents in gradient navy blue, set against a clean white background. Though historically linked to Hermes (Mercury) in Greek and Roman mythology, it has been adopted-controversially-in modern Western medicine as a symbol of healing and medical services. The design emphasizes symmetry, professionalism, and symbolic duality (e.g., balance, commerce, and negotiation).
