Escudo de la Universidad Nacional de Colombia 2016 Hoodie Design
This hoodie showcases the officially updated Escudo de la Universidad Nacional de Colombia from 2016, a symbol steeped in history and meaning. The design centers on a Polish-style escutcheon, a shield within a larger shield, surrounded by stylized acanthus leaves in verdant green.
At the crest, the majestic Andean condor, a national symbol, takes flight. It clutches a bandeau emblazoned with Colombia's national motto, "LIBERTAD Y ORDEN" (Liberty and Order), further embellished with an olive crown.
The core of the design is the central shield, meticulously divided into four quadrants, each representing a core academic discipline. The top-left quadrant presents the Scales of Justice, symbolizing the field of Law. Across, on the top-right, the Caduceus stands for Medicine. The bottom-left quadrant features Pi (π), the mathematical constant, representing Mathematics. Completing the design, the bottom-right shows a Harp, a nod to the art of Music.
Beneath the shield, a ribbon bears the Latin motto, "INTER AULAS ACADEMIA QUÆRE VERUM" ("Between classrooms, the academy seeks the truth"), adding a touch of academic gravitas. The overall design reflects a simplified and modernized aesthetic, ensuring the enduring recognition of this important emblem.
