Logos

One of the most recognizable elements of the St. Scholastica brand is the College’s logo system. Proper use of the College’s logos is key to building a recognizable brand. St. Scholastica has three main categories of logos:

  • Standard logos
  • Athletics logos
  • Presidential crest

Each category has variations with specific uses. For example, in addition to different colors, the College’s standard logo has square and department/program/campus variations. If you have questions or would like to request a new department/program/campus logo, please contact the College’s Creative Director.

Using the Shield

The Shield on its own can be used as a graphic element i.e. as a background “watermark” but is not sufficient in this form as an official representation of the College’s logo. A form of St. Scholastica’s standard logo should always appear on any project that features the Shield as a graphic element or enhancement.

As part of its logo, The College of St. Scholastica utilizes the Benedictine shield. Benedictine values are the cornerstone of the learning that happens at the College.

In its original form, the field is blue. Upon this field is a silver lily, blooming with three flowers symbolizing the three Persons of the Blessed trinity. The base of the lily is enclosed by a silver crescent, the heraldic symbol of the Virgin Mary, and likewise the purity of Christian teaching.

A golden crown of the medieval regal shape in heraldry encircles the lilies above, recalling the dedication of the Chapel to the Queen of Peace.

The heraldic indication of a college is always a book. Hence, a book occupies the center of the field. On its open pages is the motto of St. Scholastica. It is taken from the third chapter of the Book of Proverbs, and in reference to Wisdom it reads: “Her ways are ways of beauty, and all her paths are peace.” In keeping with the tradition Benedictine motto, “Pax,” St. Scholastica has chosen the second part of the verse for her motto. It reads in Latin: “Omnes semitae eius pacificae.”
