Finding Notre Dame

The arms of the University of Notre Dame
designed by Pierre de Chaignon la Rose.

For the longest time I've been frustrated by the fact that no decent digital emblazonment of Notre Dame's arms existed...until now.  These arms were among the early designs that I completed using vector format. Designed in 1930 by Pierre de Chaignon la Rose (1872-1941), the arms for the University of Notre Dame located in South Bend, Indiana are somewhat iconic in my opinion.  

Blazon for the arms of the University of Notre Dame:  Azure, issuing from a lake barry wavy Azure and Argent, a passion cross charged with an open book edged Or thereon inscribed VITA DULCEDO SPES, and in dexter canton a six pointed star Argent.

The university's arms set within a gothic quatrefoil and most likely 
rendered by la Rose himself.

So, now we have la Rose's beautiful, simple, and clear arms for the University of Notre Dame.
