MIT Seal Illustrated by Steven Noble

Pentagram commissioned Steven Noble to illustrate the Massachussets Institute of Technology (MIT) new updated seal. The artwork was hand-rendered in a scratchboard engraving style. The craftsman at the anvil and the scholar with a book on the seal have been the two important symbolic elements in their official seal for many years which was established back in 1861.See more: https://libraries.mit.edu/mithistory/institute/seal-of-the-massachusetts-institute-of-technology/
