SCDAA Emblem

The emblem of the SCDAA was designed in the early years of its organization and is truly symbolic of the professional attitude upon which this alliance was founded.

The emblem is encased in a circular bank of gold. On a background of royal blue stands a Palmetto tree with the state flower, the Yellow Jessamine, at its base. A scroll banner unfolds across the center of the emblem bearing the letters: SCDAA. Encased in the gold bank are the words: Organized-1939.

The SCDAA Emblem has been a part of the Association since its organization. The use of this emblem shall be reserved to this Association, with privileges to the local societies.
