Ivy league crests

<p>So what does everyone think about the ivy league crests?</p>

<p>i dont think penn has the best but definitely better than harvard and dartmouth…
does anyone have a picture with all the crests together? maybe then i can rank which ones i think look best…</p>

<p><a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivy_League[/url]”>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivy_League&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Good: Princeton, Penn, Columbia
Ok: Harvard, Brown
Awkward: Cornell, Yale, Dartmouth</p>

<p>I love dartmouth very much, but that is one awful crest. I think it’s by far the worst.</p>

<p>ahhh nice link…
I’d like to rank them:
_<strong><em>Princeton
_</em></strong>Penn :slight_smile:
_<strong><em>Columbia
_</em></strong>Harvard
_<strong><em>Brown
_</em></strong>Yale
_<strong><em>Cornell
_</em></strong>Dartmouth</p>

<p>Actually, I find Brown’s to be absolutely hilarious. It looks like the grouchy sun I’d find in Sesame Street.</p>

<p>Geez, when I see Yale’s I immediately think Torah and not university, very awkward indeed.</p>

<p>Dartmouth’s is awful.</p>

<p>Ivy crests … </p>

<ol>
<li>Princeton</li>
<li>Penn</li>
<li>Columbia</li>
<li>Cornell</li>
<li>Harvard</li>
<li>Brown</li>
<li>Yale</li>
<li>Dartmouth</li>
</ol>

<p>I think the Columbia, Penn, Princeton are too similar, but Princeton is the best of these.</p>

<p>My Vote:</p>

<ol>
<li>Brown</li>
<li>Harvard</li>
<li>Princeton</li>
<li>Dartmouth (its unique and the motto - A voice in the wilderness - is awesome)</li>
<li>Penn</li>
<li>Columbia</li>
<li>Yale</li>
<li>Cornell</li>
</ol>

<p>I agree with the comments about Yale, weird…</p>

<p>Slipper buddy lol :), Dart’s is defintely the ugliest. NO QUESTION!</p>

<p>I think Harvard and Yale and maybe Cornell are worse than Dartmouth.</p>

<p>The awards for easiest to trace: Harvard and Brown</p>

<p>haha, okay. But I still think its better than Cornell’s crest!</p>

<ol>
<li>Princeton…no I’m not biased :p</li>
<li>Columbia</li>
<li>Penn (I’m bitter :p)</li>
<li>Harvard</li>
<li>Brown</li>
<li>Yale</li>
<li>Dartmouth</li>
<li>Cornell (truly hideous :D)</li>
</ol>

<p>sucharita, where are you going?</p>

<p>What does “Veritas” mean?</p>

<p>It means “truth” in Latin.</p>

<p>can anyone translate all of the crests and what they mean?</p>

<p>I like the scrolly thing underneath Penn’s crest, but what’s up with the fish and the three dots on the chevron?</p>

<p>Pton: Under God She Flourishes
Harvard: Truth
Yale: Light and Truth (haha…sorry…had to laugh.)
Columbia: In thy light we shall see the light
Penn: Laws without morals are in vain.
Dartmouth: The voice of one crying out in the wilderness.</p>

<p>Personally, I think dartmouth wins for weirdest crest AND weirdest latin motto.</p>

<p>Oh, and Brown has one too: In God we Hope.</p>
