ISMS Coat of Arms
| Granted by the College of Art and Technology in 1973, the heraldic theme of the Institution’s coat of arms is its founding members. The crest of a resplendent rhinoceros, is a reference to our esteemed President’s name. The helm (helmet) is that of a knight on the town. The shields contains a book and quill pen symbolising the Institution’s desire to record only genuine isms; the rampant pig, or prize boar, honours the current Chairman & Chief Executive; and the locked castle tower under an eastern crown pays homage to the original keeper of the ISMS database - the Prince of East Segiston. * * * * * Added in 2007, the rhino graphic is a modern take on the ISMS crest incorporating the letters ISMS. |
