Centennial Logo
In the January 2008 issue of the Cross & Crescent, the Centennial logo contest was announced. Many great designs were submitted and all were greatly appreciated and deserved high praise. One submission stood out though. The submission by Robert Grove (Cincinnati 1969) was not only visually pleasing but had the deep meaning Lambda Chi Alpha has come to expect from our symbols. Like on our Coat of Arms, all components of the Centennial logo have significance.
- Cross & Crescent: Represents leadership as symbolized by the crest in our coat of arms.
- Shield: Represents the protection of our history and traditions and is made up of two ordinaries representing the historic union of Lambda Chi Alpha and Theta Kappa Nu fraternities. The “2009" charge denotes our centennial year and is strategically placed over both ordinaries.
- Centennial Streamer: Represents the expanding circle of our brotherhood and denotes the unique commemoration for which this logo is designed.
- Greek Letters: Lambda, Chi, and Alpha are rendered in a contemporary stylization that represents a solid dynamic future for our Fraternity.
- Motto “A Century of True Brotherhood”: This component may appear appropriately with the logo where size and space allows, but is not considered an integral part of the logo itself. All integral design elements of the logo should remain unchanged to provide a unified visual focal point for our entire celebration. The motto may be moved to the right of the logo if accompanied by “Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity”. This is used primarily for letterhead.
Congratulations to Brother Grove for his work on Lambda Chi Alpha’s Centennial logo.
