About this open book and laurel campus round
An open book is the universal symbol of learning, and laurel marks achievement — together they say campus before anyone reads the lettering. The initial letter on the book makes the design specific to one school. Maroon, cream and gold are classic collegiate colors, and the round shape fits easily on uniform sleeves and caps.
Customize it with your school’s initial and colors, set the university and department names in the lettering, or replace the book with your school seal. This page shows a design concept we manufacture to order — your stitch-ready proof arrives 6–12 hours after you order, and nothing is produced until you approve it.
