The Harcum College Seal Motto translate to "Deeds Before Words" which doesn't describe any higher education I'm aware of. Can I just vote against that one?
Excuse me, but the very dumbest, ugliest university logo has GOT to be Fresno State's. Mercifully, it doesn't feature a sheep. It features a cross-eyed, beetle-browed, slope-shouldered, bow-legged, pigeon-toed, drooling idiot who has every appearance of having rabies. Here he is:
Skidmore definitely gets the prize for the curlicue-iest (and yes, there's a unicorn!), and is that a duck I see perched on the helmet at the top of Harcum's? Still, I'm with Cal: I like Vassar's. It's simple, classical, contains a female figure (who's presumably allegorical, but could also be a student), and actually signals the centrality of learning to the institutional mission (Juniata does pretty well on that score, too, but I still like Vassar's).
But where's the seal?
ReplyDeleteA seal, a duck, and an alpaca walk into a bar.
ReplyDeleteA Fresno student walks into a baa.
DeleteOoooh, I like Vassar. Vote.
ReplyDeleteIs the seal saying that Skidmore College lasted only from 1911 to 1922? That's some pretty awful administration, even for higher education.
ReplyDeleteSkidmore College. It has a magical unicorn. Life is better with unicorns...

ReplyDeleteThe administrators at the place I used to teach at expected me to behave like a trained seal....
ReplyDeleteMy favorite always be from school in the completely forgettable Kevin Kline movie, In & Out, where he portrays a conflicted gay teacher.

ReplyDeleteSkidmore College's name reminds me of Skid Row the rock group, and nobody wants to bring forth the dread spectre of `80s hair bands.
ReplyDeleteUniversity of Freiburg's seal has a nice look:

Moscow State U.'s is just the giant building surrounded by a wreath and the year 1755, when Mikhail Lomonosov set up the place. Not scary enough.
