The elements of the logo – cross, anchors, and shield – are long respected hallmarks of Catholic education. The cross symbolizes the Catholic mission; the anchors symbolize hope; and the shield symbolizes excellence in higher education and holds the elements together as one form. The intersection of the cross and anchors creates a burst of light symbolizing enlightenment. Light and Hope, Lux et Spes, are the attributes that define Stonehill College. Logo design, Malcolm Grear Designers.
