The Columbia Crown is a common symbol associated with the school. The symbol has often morphed and changed over time, and has been adapted in various fashions by different schools within the University. Recently, the crown has taken precedent over the shield in branding. For example, the law school switched from using the shield and it's own logo to the spaded crown in 2007.
