Tennessee EMT patch (what's on it)?

[Trauma Cop]

Hello, I've recently got a license in the state of Tennessee and I'm sitting here looking at this patch wondering what in the world is on it. Anybody tell me what the logo in the center is?

Here is a thread from 2010 which has some interesting information about the original intent of the patch...however I cannot find anything about what those symbols are. I have googled, I have gone to TN EMS website...nada!

when I finish school, the patch will of course have the "IV THERAPY" rocker across the top. In the middle of the main (orange) patch , there are 2 different versions out there......one says "TENNESSEE" and one says "ADVANCED" which one is correct ? I guess I can't post pics or I would...

I'm not sure, but I think the logo has something to do with Tennessee's outdoors: forests (the tree in the center), mountains (upper left), and wildlife (a bird in the upper right). Or the bird could be a waterway. I forget.

I was advised by a gentleman who was an EMT in Tennessee years ago, that the logo actually spells out EMT. I'm like you, I see a tree in the center lol.
