\u00a0Granted to the University in 1991, whilst it was still a Polytechnic, Manchester Metropolitan University\u2019s coat of arms features a number of elements taken from the City of Manchester\u2019s arms. Of most interest to us the crest depicting a lion holding a globe of bees.<\/p>\n
Here the bees symbolise \u201cthe activity and the hard work of education<\/em>\u201d, while the globe is suggestive of \u201cthe migration of students to the University from all over the world.<\/em>\u201d Also of note is that only six bees are depicted, compared to the city\u2019s seven.<\/p>\n \u00a0The bees also appear in 18 carrat gold. atop the University’s mace\u00a0 Designed by former member of staff and acclaimed silversmith Angus McFadyen, it has been used in graduation ceremonies since 2013.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/manchesterbe.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/238417511.jpg” alt=”MMU Mace” title_text=”MMU Mace” _builder_version=”4.10.8″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.10.8″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Image reproduced with kind permission of The Manchester Metropolitan University<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.10.8″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]MMU\u2019s coat of arms only appears on degree certificates and on other formal institutional documents. In other circumstances where a logo is required, the university uses the following emblem.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/manchesterbe.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/MMU-Logo.jpg” alt=”MMU Logo” title_text=”MMU Logo” align=”center” align_tablet=”center” align_phone=”” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”4.10.8″ max_width=”400px” hover_enabled=”0″ use_border_color=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.10.8″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.10.8″ _module_preset=”default” type=”4_4″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.10.8″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Image reproduced with kind permission of The Manchester Metropolitan University<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row padding_mobile=”off” column_padding_mobile=”on” admin_label=”row” _builder_version=”3.25″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” make_fullwidth=”off” use_custom_width=”off” width_unit=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.10.8″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” global_colors_info=”{}”]The logo is derived from the upper part of the shield, with six spade-irons positioned together, suggesting hard toil and entrenchment. You can find this design reflected around the university. For example, a single spade head is used to decorate the railings that run around All Saints Park in the middle of All Saints Campus.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image
