During my time working at Columbia College’s Creative Services Department I was lucky enough to be able to redesign my own alma mater’s official seal.
The Columbia College Chicago seal needed to be updated to reflect the modern creative energy of the school and leave outdated elements of the symbol in the past.
The torch remained as a symbol of knowledge, but now light breaks the outer circle, representing the unlimited potential of Columbia’s students. The torch emerges from the water, symbolizing the school's location on Lake Michigan and pride for Chicago.
