Toronto Metropolitan University Mock Seal Design

Unity, Landscape, and Creativity. Those were the three words I chose to integrate into the seal to represent Toronto Metropolitan University. Since our campus is located in one of the most diverse and connected cities in the world, I wanted to incorporate an identifiable symbol - the Toronto skyline.

After participating in many protests, and seeing the power of community and unity, I knew I wanted to include a symbol of activism, solidarity, and empowerment. This is represented by the raised fist - which speaks to the regrowth of the school following the name change.

The road is the last element I included which alludes to the streets of downtown and is a metaphor for TMU being on the road leading to change. The aim of my design is for it to represent the strength and unity of the students, the diversity and density of the city, and the creativity of the school community.

“unity” illustration

The aim of the “unity” print is to highlight the beauty of the unique bond women have with nature. Ecofeminism is the idea that women and the earth are interconnected in a multiplicity of ways. There are many similarities between the way our patriarchal society interacts with women and nature, and instead of destroying and discriminating, we should be recognizing and respecting.

Limited stock of this print is available - DM for more info :)
