UST University Seal Issue: Old vs. New

Recently, there's a lot of hype, contradictions and negative reactions about the revised University of Santo Tomas university seal. Before giving my own reactions, here's the old UST seal that represents the glory days of my dear university:



This seal has uniquely separated the university from any other university here in the Philippines, thus giving more emphasis on being the "Oldest University in the Philippines and in Asia". UST exemplied for the past decades excellency by producing world class Thomasian graduates which can be found all over the world. Up until now, UST remained the top 3 university in the Philippines aspiring youth to experience top caliber education here in our country. 

Look at Harvard University's seal. It is not the same as that of other universities in America, right?



Going back to UST, to give way to the 400th year anniversary of my dear university, they changed the seal and this is the result:


Changing times mean a change in the seal? I don't think so. I just don't have any "amor" for this new look. I mean, the design, the font, what happened? It looks quite cheap and is just similar to other university's seal. It's looks like an egg actually. 

And to compare:


You'll definitely choose the old one.
