Montclair State Introduces New University Logo
With the close of the University's centennial celebrations President Susan A. Cole has announced a new look for the second century. The design, created by the department of University Communications, "takes elements from our history and reconfigures them in a way that is both new and honors the tradition of the institution," she said. "The crest is designed based on the seal. The bells represent the carillons that ring out our alma mater from the College Hall Bell Tower. The pine trees have been open to interpretation since the seal was designed in 1932, but many have suggested that they allude to the 'evergreen quality of education'." The new logo will gradually be phased into all print and online communications so watch for it in the coming months.
