This design is best identified by its aforementioned motto, that as luck would have it was named by Motto magazine as #1 on its 2007 Top 10 Motto List. According to the university's website, the shield or crest has "elements [that] are designed to reflect the connection between the University, the State of New York, and the United States." Within the shield at the top left is a shield representing the United States with its navy blue bar and red and white vertical stripes, and at the top right is a detail of New York's seal with mountain, sun, body of water and boats. At the bottom is Cornell's founding quote, shown across the pages of a book.
