Missouri S&T’s Historic Emblem may be used with marketing materials that are designed to communicate the university's history or to communicate with alumni. For example, the office of development uses the emblem in its Advancing Excellence campaign materials, and the alumni association uses the emblem in the interior of the alumni magazine. The historic emblem should not be used in place of the Missouri S&T word mark. Its use is reserved for development and alumni relations purposes only.

Missouri S&T’s Historic Emblem includes several symbols that convey meaning to our alumni and friends:

• The crossed hammers remind us of our founding as the School of Mines and Metallurgy in 1870.
• The gear, while signifying our historic emphasis in the mechanics of engineering, also challenges all alumni to pursue new ideas and knowledge, accept civic responsibility and serve society.
• The chain signifies the strong link all graduates share through the ages.
