Within circles around the shields is the name of the university and the
date of its founding, "Old Dominion Unversity - 1930." The central
portion contains a modified and simplified version of the Stuart arms,
royal arms of the Stuart rulers at the time Virginia became known as
the Old Dominion.
The shields of the four kingdoms represent England,
Scotland, Ireland, and France, which England still claimed. Over the
Stuart arms, to indicate the university's origin, has been placed the
shield of the arms of
The College of William and Mary, granted by the
Heralds' College of 1694.
