ucsdseal.png The image displays the official seal of the University of California San Diego. It is a circular emblem designed with navy blue and gold colors set against a white background, which is itself placed on a black field. A thick navy blue ring surrounds the center of the seal. Inside this ring, text in gold capital letters follows the curve. The top arc reads "UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA" and the bottom arc reads "SAN DIEGO". Two small gold dots separate the upper and lower text on the left and right sides of the ring. The inner white circle contains several gold illustrations. At the very top center is a five-pointed star with rays extending outward from behind it. Directly below the star is an open book standing upright. The pages of the book are filled with horizontal lines representing text. On the upper left page, there is a small square box containing the letter "A". Radiating from behind the book and star are straight gold lines that extend toward the edges of the white circle, resembling sunbeams or light rays. To the right of the book, there is a stylized graphic element shaped like a lightning bolt or flame. Wrapped around the base of the open book is a flowing ribbon or scroll. The text on this banner reads "LET THERE BE" on the left side and "LIGHT" on the right side. This description was generated automatically.
