The emblem of Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv
The main building of the university, known as the Red Building, is depicted in the center of the composition, symbolizing the university's character as a repository of knowledge. The left half features the Archangel Michael, the patron saint of Kyiv, while the right half portrays Grand Prince Volodymyr, historically recognized as the patron saint of the fundamental nature of knowledge, after whom the university was originally named (until 1919). The year 1834, marking the university's establishment, is the central focus of the composition. Surrounding the central image are golden ribbons inscribed with the words 'Utilitas, Honor et Gloria.' This text, serving as the motto of the St. Volodymyr Order, defines the priorities in the historical development of the university.
