Coat of arms (crest) of Solent University
Official blazon
English blazon wanted

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted in 2020.

The simple geometric red and white design signifies a contemporary chart of the Solent and the Isle of Wight reflecting the University’s longstanding connection to the South of England.

The crest depicts two Northern Gannets ‘fencing’. These seabirds symbolise a strong maritime link to the sea and the Solent.

The supporters take the form of an adaption of the Warsash Dragon, the original heraldic badge for our Warsash Maritime School which has been a first-class Marine School for the past 70 years.

The motto “Ready for the future” celebrates Solent University as a modern institution which is ready to adapt to new times ahead, while the coat of arms reflects its longstanding educational history.
