Griffins
Use of historic griffins on projects should be done with thoughtful intention. Historic griffins should never be used as a substitute for current branding.
The griffin was featured on the coat of arms of Simeon Reed, the college’s founder. In mythology, the griffin often pulled the chariot of the sun. In canto 32 of Dante Alighieri’s "The Divine Comedy," the griffin is associated with the tree of knowledge.
A collection of historical griffins chronicles Reed’s past. The official griffin logomark is a simplified silhouette based on the 1998 griffin illustration. A number of historical griffins have been featured in college communications in recent years.
