BE THE BUFFALO




** So we've been getting a lot of inquiries about our new look, particularly our new logo.

Questions like: "What's your new logo all about?" "Is there any significance or meaning to it?" "What's up with the buffalo?!!"

So I reckon it's time for a little proper explaining.

------------------------------------------------------------


** + Actually, there was quit a bit of intention and thought put into our new logo. And admittedly, I have an inner creative-geeky side; sometimes I get a chance to let my inner nerd eat. So, here is a brief look at that nerdiness and how the new logo came to be:

+ I wanted a logo that somehow tied in some of our beliefs and personality (if that's even possible?!), so I started thinking and doing some sketch pad drawings. I have always taken a liking to geometric shapes, and the equilateral triangle (symmetric sides) is what I began sketching in my early doodles.

------------------------------------------------------------


============================================================

+ My faith is a big part of who I am. I believe in God, and HIs existence in three equal parts: Father, Son and Spirit. Chiropractic is also a part of who I am, and I would tell you that good chiropractor has an equal foundation in science (biology, chemistry, neurology, anatomy), art (the specific adjustment technique/skill) and philosophy (a belief that healing comes from the inside-out). So I began drawing and playing with the three-sided triangle.

+ As most of you know, I also love all things outdoors - hiking, camping, hunting, fishing, exploring. The more I drew and pondered, the more the triangle began taking the shape of a mountain. Now, Tennessee maybe doesn't have the mountains of the West, but work with me, our foothills are beautiful nonetheless. I thought it fit. And why not have 3? Three "equal-sided" triangular mountains is what it morphed into.


Why a buffalo? Buffalos are massive creatures built to "carry the burden." In the late 1800s, the buffalo almost went extinct (due to Western civilization pushes, and over-hunting to make way for man and railroads), but today the buffalo thrives: a survivor. Buffalo run/live in tight herds or families and stick together to protect their children and each other with communal diligence. When something threatens that unit, a buffalo goes into action (goes wild and charges the threat) and can be very dangerous until the balance is restored: a protector. The Native Americans saw the buffalo as a means for food, clothing, tools and even blankets and shelter. Every part of the buffalo was used - nothing was wasted: a provider. A buffalo is a symbol of quiet strength and leadership.
Another cool thing I learned after I settled on the bison is what happens when a storm front approaches. Where most animals have a bent tendency to turn away and outrun the storm, a buffalo does the opposite. An attempt to get through the trial or storm quicker, buffalo turn into the storm and face it head on. I find the imagery to be the lesson-worthy. Whenever confronted with a tough challenge, do not prolong the torment, become the buffalo - step into the challenge and face it for resolution.



+  A few other details include the use of a medical cross as the "&" sign between health + wellness. The cross, I see, as a double meaning - faith and health. Finally, the border around the logo. I wanted to wrap it up as a badge-like or stamp-like logo with a border similar to an arrowhead (or National Park logo border), so, why not incorporate my favorite sport, America's Pastime - BASEBALL! The border is home plate! (Also a double meaning - your home for health, ha!).

+
And last, but certainly not least, we included in the logo the year in which we were established - 2005.

+ That's the heart behind the logo. Now you know!
A special shoutout to Taylor Brady (Rhonda's daughter). She is the one that brought it all together and made it happen, and I'd highly recommend her for your graphic design needs.

Testimonial

  • "I was experiencing a stiff neck and painful low back with limited ranges of motion. My results were much improved range of motion and low back pain was eliminated. After adjustments and a couple of massages, I played my best round of golf of the year - pain free!"
