“

The present seal of the University of Santo Tomas (UST) is likened to a blue shield bordered by a golden line. The shield is sectioned by the Dominican Cross, which represents the Dominican foundation of the University. Hosted at the center of the cross is the sun of St. Thomas Aquinas, patron saint of the University and of Catholic schools and after whom the University was named. The corners of the University seal feature different symbols like the Papal tiara (upper left) that indicates the University as a pontifical institution; the Lion (upper right), which is adopted from the seal of Spain, is emblematic of the royal patronage of the centuries-old existence of the University; the sea-lion (lower left), adopted from the old seal of the City of Manila, that symbolizes that the University is part of the Capital of the Republic of the Philippines; and the Rose Vignette (lower right) that serves as a symbol of the patronage of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The symbols are set in gold on a field of light blue, to honor the Marian color. The cross, however, is in black and white, the Dominican colors. The seal of the University bears the words "Pontifical and Royal University of Santo Tomas, Manila" along with its year of establishment.

Portion used

The entire logo is used to convey the meaning intended and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the intended image.

Low resolution?

This is an SVG vector image of a registered trademark or a copyright-protected logo, seal or computer icon. This image should not be rendered any larger than is required for the purposes of identification and/or critical commentary. The default rendering of this image is of a size and resolution sufficient to maintain the quality intended by the company or organization, without being unnecessarily high resolution.

Purpose of use

The image is used to identify the brand University of Santo Tomas, a subject of public interest. The significance of the logo is to help the reader identify the brand, assure the readers that they have reached the right article containing critical commentary about the brand, and illustrate the nature of the brand in a way that words alone could not convey.

Replaceable?

Because it is a non-free logo, there is almost certainly no free representation. Any substitute that is not a derivative work would fail to convey the meaning intended, would tarnish or misrepresent its image, or would fail its purpose of identification or commentary.
