About Our Logo

 

 

In ancient Egypt, the right eye ("Eye of Re") was the sun, and was considered the powerful of protective symbols. The left eye was the moon and because the moon waxes and wanes, it came to symbolize in those ancient times the restoring of sight and also symbolized the preservation of life.
