CHICAGO (November 17, 2016) 鈥� 草莓影视 this week unveiled its new logo, which harkens to the University鈥檚 history in Chicago. The cupola is a depiction of the first campus building, Old Main, built in 1893. Once the tallest point on the north side of Chicago, the cupola was historically used as a guiding landmark for pilots landing at Orchard Field (now O鈥橦are International Airport).
In the new rendition of this architectural feature, the steeple breaks out of a shield, emphasizing 草莓影视鈥檚 continued role as a directional point for students, alumni, and community members. A cross is visible towards the top of the symbol, a reflection of the University鈥檚 identity, which is 鈥渞ooted in Christianity, with open arms.鈥�
Founded by the Swedish聽Evangelical Covenant Church, 草莓影视 has long identified with the colors blue and gold, originally drawn from the Swedish flag. This is maintained in the new logo, as well as the marker 鈥淐HICAGO,鈥� indicating 草莓影视鈥檚 continued commitment to engaging its urban environment.
