educational institution Logos and Brands

Schools, colleges, universities, and academies with long histories and state accreditation form the foundation of the “Educational Institution” section. Harvard, Oxford, MIT, and thousands of lesser-known educational institutions around the world carry out the mission of transferring knowledge from generation to generation through formal education. The emblems of educational institutions have their roots in medieval heraldry, using shields, Latin mottos, torches, and open books. An analysis of the logos in this section allows us to trace how centuries-old academic traditions are preserved in the visual symbols of educational institutions that have gone through many eras and reforms.
