Mentioned below are the top 5 best law schools in the US. Let’s take a look at how these universities design their brands to reflect the true essence of their culture.
1. Stanford:
Stanford Law School was founded when former President Benjamin Harrison joined the faculty as the first law professor. Its founding year is 1893. This is one of the best law schools in the world and has been ranked as one of the top three schools by US News & World Report several times. Their law school logo is simple, attractive, and contemporary. It consists of the name of the university in thin, straight lines on a bright red background. The word “Stanford” is written in white while the word “law school” is written in black. This combination of white and black with red makes it bright and everlasting.
2. Yale:
The Yale Law School logo consists of an alligator on a green colored background, a gray hound on a gold colored background and silver pins on a black colored background. This design first appeared in 1956 and each element of the pattern has a unique significance. Seth Staples started law school in the early 19th century which is why the logo is made up of silver pins. Samuel Hitchcock, whose family emigrated from Wales to the British West Indies, was the successor to Staples in 1824. He was considered the influencing soul of the Institute until 1845. The Hitchcock family was represented by a crocodile inspired by the traditional image of a dragon that was used to represent Welsh entities. Judge David Daggett, previously spelled “Doggett,” became co-owner in 1824. He was represented by a greyhound.
3. University of Chicago:
The University of Chicago Law School was founded in 1902 and is one of the most prestigious and selective schools in the world. The monogram consists of a white and maroon shield. The lower half of the shield consists of an image of an eagle while the upper half contains an illustration of a book bearing the school crest. The school’s motto is “Crescatcientia; vita excolatur” written in Latin in the book which means “Let knowledge grow from more to more; human life thus rich.”
4. New York University:
NYU Law was founded in 1835 and was the first school to be established in New York City. The monogram consists of an illustration of a flame with flames. The name of the college is written in straight, thin lines. The combination of black and white is sophisticated and classic. This motto is as appropriate for law school as it is for Middle school logo.
5. Columbia:
Columbia Law School, founded in 1858, is one of the oldest and most prestigious schools in the United States. Their trademark consists of an image of three crowns encased in a blue shield. The school’s motto is in Latin “In lumine Tuo videbimus lumen” which means “In your light we will see the light”. The three crowns in the shield are inspired by the king’s crown.
In short, we note here that these slogans are designed to be distinct, imaginative, and reflect the true essence of education.
