The Shield

While incorporating traditional heraldic elements, the shield uses abstract forms, allowing for individual interpretation. The fluid curves of the design are meant to recall features of the natural landscape of the Northwest with a contemporary economy of line.

The current Lewis & Clark shield was created in 1992, the year the institution celebrated its 125th anniversary, 50 years on the present campus, and 30 years of undergraduate overseas study programs.
