Arms of the University of Derby Escutcheon T-Shirt
Show your pride for the University of Derby with this striking t-shirt featuring the escutcheon, the central shield of the university's coat of arms. The design is a vibrant representation of the institution's history and values.
Design Elements and Symbolism
The artwork showcases a striking blue shield, the background for the primary imagery. Dominating the center is a radiant gold armillary sphere, a symbolic representation of knowledge, learning, and a global perspective, echoing the university's commitment to education.
Across the top of the shield is a bold red band, a "chief" in heraldic terms. Within this chief is the striking visual centerpiece, a white cross potent quadrate, a nod to historical influences and the Diocese of Lichfield. Centered on the cross is a unique fountain, a circular design of wavy stripes that symbolize water, referencing the university's ecclesiastical links. Flanking the fountain are two distinguished silver stag's heads, presented caboshed (facing forward). These stag heads pay homage to Derbyshire County Council and ultimately the Cavendish family, Dukes of Devonshire, rooting the university in its local heritage.
This design is a powerful display of the university's history and values, representing knowledge, local heritage, and academic excellence.
