UNAL Aplicación Medellín (Colombia) (Coat of Arms) T-Shirt - Design Overview
This t-shirt showcases the official coat of arms of the UNAL Aplicación Medellín, a distinguished institutional adaptation of the Universidad Nacional de Colombia (UNAL) emblem, specifically for its Medellín campus. Created in 1937 by artist Francisco Duarte, the design, originally available in SVG format, is a powerful symbol of academic heritage and identity.
Core Elements and Symbolism
The design prominently features the traditional structure of the UNAL coat of arms, a symbol rich in meaning:
- Polish Shield (Partido): The central element is a shield with two distinct parts, housing a smaller central shield.
- Andean Condor: Perched atop the shield, the majestic Andean condor holds a banner bearing the national motto of Colombia: "Libertad y Orden" (Liberty and Order). This embodies the spirit of freedom and governance.
- Lower Banner: A banner positioned below the shield carries the university's Latin motto: "Inter·Aulas·Academiæ·Quære·Verum" ("Seek Truth in the Halls of the Academy"). This emphasizes the pursuit of knowledge and truth as the core mission of the institution.
- Central Shield (Escudo menor): The smaller shield within is divided into four quadrants, each representing a key academic area:
- Scales of Justice: Symbolizing the Faculty of Law, representing justice and legal principles.
- Bowl of Hygieia with Serpent: Representing the health sciences, a nod to medicine and healthcare.
- Greek Letter Pi (π): Representing the exact sciences, embodying mathematical and scientific inquiry.
- Harp: Symbolizing the arts and culture, representing the creative and artistic dimensions of education.
The overall design is a sophisticated emblem of the UNAL Medellín campus, representing its commitment to education, knowledge, and its place within the larger framework of the Universidad Nacional de Colombia.
