Escudo de la Universidad Libre de Colombia Hoodie - Design Overview
This hoodie prominently features the official Escudo (Coat of Arms) of the Universidad Libre de Colombia, a powerful emblem steeped in symbolism and representing the university's core values.
Design Elements
The design takes the form of a circular emblem, framed by a golden border that bears the words "UNIVERSIDAD LIBRE – COLOMBIA." This encircling text establishes the official identity of the university.
Within the circular frame, the design centers on a triangular field. At the heart of this field lies the "gorro frigio," or Phrygian cap, a time-honored symbol of liberty and freedom, a foundational principle of the institution.
Above the Phrygian cap, an open book rests, signifying learning, education, and the pursuit of knowledge – the very essence of the university's academic mission.
A flowing banner or scroll gracefully encircles the central field, bearing the Latin motto "SCIENTIA FONS LIBERTATIS." This phrase translates to "Science is the source of freedom," encapsulating the philosophy that knowledge is the key to liberation.
Symbolism and Meaning
The Escudo's components work in concert to express the university's core values. The Phrygian cap unequivocally represents liberty and freedom, while the open book highlights the importance of learning and academic endeavor.
The motto, "SCIENTIA FONS LIBERTATIS," underscores the connection between knowledge, education, and individual emancipation, a cornerstone of the university's ethos.
The circular shape of the emblem with the university name around the border reinforces the official, institutional character of the Escudo, establishing it as a recognized symbol of the Universidad Libre de Colombia.
