A Seal for the Ages

Cal Poly Pomona's seal pays homage to the university’s unique history. In the foreground is an Arabian horse, inspired by Antez, one of W.K. Kellogg’s favorites. The horse stables, designed by famed architect Myron Hunt, honor the past but are even more prominent today as the home of some of the university’s cultural and identity centers. The palm trees and San Gabriel Mountains highlight Cal Poly Pomona’s beauty and our historical roots in Southern California. You also might notice a pattern of threes – stable doors, mountain peaks and palm trees – which are a symbolic nod to the three elements of a polytechnic education that have been hallmarks since 1938: Creativity. Discovery. Innovation.
