Meaning and History
Following the traditions of university teams, artists placed a sports mascot on the Canisius Golden Griffins logo. A yellow griffin with a lion’s body, large feathered wings, and a white bird’s head with paws on forward with sharp claws. He went hunting and will not give rest to rivals until the victorious finale. Dark blue contours and shadows make the picture more expressive.

The graphic image is complemented by the inscription “Canisius College,” divided into two lines. In the first word, the letters are originally stylized, decorated with serifs, and outlined with thin light lines. A long spike extends to the left from the bottom of the “S,” which forms an arch and emphasizes all the symbols except the first “C.” The font of the word “College” is much simpler: it is a geometric grotesque with a rectangular shape of lowercase letters. As for the color palette, it includes orange, white, and navy blue.
