 I actually find 's response unsuitable.   First of all, please clarify the actual source of the image.   My understanding is that it is your own reproduction based on older but verifiable sources.   If so, it is inappropriate for someone to unofficially create or reproduce a historical logo to represent modern-day Harvard.  The proper logo should always come from the University itself.     

 Second, I note that Harvard itself claims that the "Harvard Seal" is the Veritas shield with the wreath.     I have seen no other uses of your seal in Harvard's official web communications, indicating that the University even if they did allow you to reproduce their seal would not recognize your version of the seal as representative of Harvard on the web.    

 Last of all, Harvard's seal/shield is still trademarked.     See their full list of trademarks here: .  Please note that the Veritas shield and the wreath version of the Veritas shield are listed there as trademarks.  Your version of the seal is not listed there.    I thus stand by my initial assertion that it is simply inaccurate to portray the seal as the modern-day Harvard logo.   Furthermore, I believe that if your seal was reported to the University's trademark infringement office, they would agree that it is an unofficial and inaccurate reproduction that uses a trademarked logo.     

 In the interest of not starting a reverting war, I will not revert it back to the Veritas shield (for now).  I would be in interested in hearing other people's comments.
