Meaning and history
The university was established in the middle of the 19th century. That time, it was known as State University of Iowa. The university establishment was dictated by the Constitution of the State, which stated that the government was to form a university with no branches in other states. The starter pack of the programs studied during the first decades of the university was composed of ancient and modern languages, history, philosophy, math, and chemistry. The next name of the university arrived in 1964, when the ‘University of Iowa’ wording was adopted for daily usage.

The seal has been executed as a circular mark, consisting of two elements: an external frame and a central circle. The outer part of the seal features a ring with the name of the institution, and the full date when it was organized. At the center of the whole insignia, we can see an image of an Eagle in its full growth. The eagle is an unchanging symbol of Iowa State, depicted on its flag, so it’s very suitable for the university to represent the eagle on its seal. The bird is drawn holding a stick in its left leg, a bow in its right leg, and carrying an arrow in its beak.

The primary logotype of the brand features an inscription with the name of the university. It’s shown below an image of a dome propped up by several columns.
Font
The words in the seal have been featured in a semifat typeface with angular serifs. All inscriptions are capitalized, but the first letters of each word in the name are slightly enlarged (except for the word ‘of’). As for the primary logotype, so here the script is more interesting: each letter has prominent serifs, executed in slight lines, going to different sides depending on whether it’s the top or bottom of the symbol. Also, the characters are all capitals, but the first characters of each word are enlarged, as it’s in the seal. Each letter has prominent serifs, executed in slight lines.
Color
The colors’ gathering in the seal and the primary logotype differ starkly in comparison to each other. In the logo, we can observe the black and white coloring, whereas the dome with the columns is one half black, and one half white. The inscription has been colored solid black. The seal is shown as a golden-colored circle with black lines craved on it. The black coloring is used for the image of the eagle at the center and all inscriptions in the outer frame.
