Design rationale
The College shield or logo represents Lewis & Clark's tradition of excellence in the liberal arts and sciences, education and counseling, and the law, and its evolution into one of the nation's outstanding institutions of higher learning. While incorporating traditional heraldic elements, the shield uses abstract forms that allow for interpretation. The curves of the design recall features of the Northwest's natural landscape. The shield is the official College logo.
