Yale logo and symbol, meaning, history, PNG
- Download PNG Yale Logo PNG As the third-oldest institution of higher education in the US, Yale University is proud of its coat of arms, which has a long and interesting history.
- Meaning and history The oldest surviving and legible seal known so far can be seen on the 1749 master’s diploma of Ezra Stiles.
- It’s only natural that various hypotheses have been introduced.
- Symbol In the center of the Yale logo, there’s a book featuring a Hebrew inscription.
- In his opus “Joining The Club: A History of Jews and Yale,” Dan A. Oren states that the two Hebrew words (Urim v’Thummim) appear eight times in the Hebrew Bible.
- He claims that the fact that the words can be seen in Leviticus 8:8 could suggest that “they identify the book on the Yale seal as the Bible itself.” Oren mentioned that the 1749 seal looks very much like the Harvard seal.
- Instead of the Harvard motto, Yale used its own – “Lux et Veritas” (which means “Light and Truth” in translation from Latin), while instead of the three blank books and a chevron on the Harvard seal, Yale used one book with two words.
- The authors of the seal could also have had political reasons for using the words from Wollebius’ text.
- It was used because of its pronounced anti-Arminian stance.
- Font The type used on the Yale logo is highly recognizable and legible.
- Colors The color most associated with Yale University is Yale Blue, which has been the school’s official color since the late 1800s.
- The brand guidelines state that the Official Yale Blue (spot color) can be reproduced with the following Superior Printing Ink Co. ink formula: HB 6254 (for coated paper) or HB 6255 (for uncoated paper).
