UNAL AplicaciĆ³n Manizales (Colombia) Coat of Arms Hoodie: Design Description
This hoodie prominently displays the "UNAL AplicaciĆ³n Manizales" coat of arms, a distinctive institutional emblem representing the Universidad Nacional de Colombia (UNAL) - Manizales campus. The design, adapted from the original UNAL shield created in 1937 by Francisco Duarte, reflects the academic identity and values of this prestigious institution.
Emblematic Structure
The core of the design is a Polish shield, a classic heraldic form comprising a larger shield with a smaller shield at its center. Above the shield, an Andean Condor, the national bird of Colombia, is perched, holding a banner emblazoned with the national motto, "Libertad y Orden" (Liberty and Order).
Symbolism and Meaning
The smaller central shield is divided into four quadrants, each representing a key area of knowledge. The symbols within each section convey specific academic disciplines: scales of justice for the Faculty of Law, a Hygieia cup with a serpent for the health sciences, the Greek letter pi (Ļ) for the exact sciences, and an harp for the arts and culture. The design is completed by a banner displaying the university's motto in Latin: "InterĀ·AulasĀ·AcademiƦĀ·QuƦreĀ·Verum" (Seek Truth in the Halls of the Academy). The overall design symbolizes a commitment to academic excellence, freedom, and the pursuit of knowledge across a broad range of disciplines.
Visual Identity
This coat of arms serves as the official visual identity of the UNAL Manizales campus, instantly recognizable to members of the university community and beyond. Wearing this design represents an affiliation with the institution and its esteemed academic tradition.
