"You have power over your mind – not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength."
— Marcus Aurelius, Emperor of Rome
VIRTUES
MARK ANATOMY
The mark fuses together columns of the Pantheon with a lion’s head, in an elegant line-art style. Lions are often depicted wearing a crown to symbolize nobility. This lion’s crown resembles the Pantheon’s roof, and uses the exact angles in the roof of the actual building. The overall composition creates a shield and conveys a balanced metaphor between educational and natural strength.
This mark utilizes bold and parallel lines. The bold lines convey sturdiness and structure. The parallel lines show both balance and harmony. The bottom tip of the mark, depicted as the lion’s beard, is elongated and not uniform, to simulate the characteristics of an older and wiser male lion.
SYMBOLISM
SYMMETRY
The mark is perfectly symmetrical. This shows a calculated choice to be balanced and precise.
