Slytherin Logo PNG
The secret magical knowledge encoded in the ancient papyri of the school of sorcery reveals the Slytherin logo to the audience. Wisdom and willingness to repulse the enemy are the main qualities of the students of this magical faculty.
Meaning and History
The founder of Slytherin was the first leader. Then, at different times, professors H. Slughorn and S. Snape occupied the post of the head. The collective of the house was made up of the so-called purebreds – the offspring of wizards. This influenced the concept of the faculty and became the reason for the main confrontation in the Potterian – two spiritually strong houses whose members competed in everything.
The serpent corresponds to the purposeful, insidious qualities of Slytherin students. It was she who was chosen to be his talisman. This reptile is cold, calculating, flexible, and mobile, in accordance with the character traits the Sorting Hat uses to assign students here. The basic element of the house is water. Therefore, the dungeon is located under the lake, acting as a defense. In addition, water is recognized as a portal to another world.
Although Slytherin and Gryffindor were constantly at odds over the purity of Hogwarts students, Harry Potter was a contender for admission to each of these houses. However, their representatives were not friends, continuing the centuries-old hostility. This was openly manifested in Quidditch competitions and the House Cup championship. The eternal confrontation is also reflected in the houses’ identities. Slytherin has a snake – cold-blooded, arrogant, formidable. The house has such powerful energy that Stephen King mentioned it in the Dark Tower series.
The faculty’s coat of arms depicts a silvery snake with distinct scales. She curled up into rings and stretched upward, looking down at her surroundings. She has a broad head, black eyes, and a thin, forked tongue. This image embodies all the character traits that should be inherent in members of the Slytherin society. In addition, this is the faculty’s founder’s favorite animal, who knew how to talk with snakes (he spoke in snake tongues).
A large reptile is located on a green background with a bright emerald hue. The field is lined with curly lines resembling waves, as water is another important totem for the home. All elements are placed in a figured shield with deep depressions along the edges. They are decorated with diagonal stripes in light and dark gray.
Font and Colors
There is no single inscription in the logo; it is designed as a coat of arms with a snake motif that symbolizes Slytherin. The color palette consists of silver and green. They are associated with the element of water: lakes are usually surrounded by greenery and often covered with green duckweed or mud. And gray is the image of water in general, for example, rain, which is associated with silvery streams.
