Xmos University Logo

[I apologize for the poor quality of this image, but it's been a few years, and I lost the originals. BTW-- 30 T-Shirts were made with this logo on the front. It is possible you might run into a former Blair student who has such a shirt. Unlikely, but possible.]

Description

The logo of Xmos University contains symbols that reflect the humble beginnings of the Poem of the Day. The magic markers are those that were used to write the Poem of the Day on the white board in the magnet study hall at Montgomery Blair High School. Next to the markers is an eraser with a slash through it. This reflects the protected status of the Poem of the Day. Mrs. Wisniewski, who was in control of the study hall, did not let the other students erase our wonderful poems. Beneath these symbols is the mysterious robed figure carrying a slab with a poem on it. He represents Rev. Xmos, and the mystery around the Rev's existence. The slab reads:

I came
I saw
I thunked
I flunked.

The poem reflects the attitude of students towards final exams. It is fitting that such a poem be part of the logo of a university.
