The St. Brendan logos were designed to reflect the story of St. Brendan. The double-blue is representative of the sea and sky and the white accent the clouds; the compass rose is representative of his legend as a navigator and the celtic cross speaks of his Irish roots.
Our mascot, the gryphon, was chosen because of the connection it represents to Brendan’s famous voyage and is a legendary creature with the body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle. As the lion is traditionally considered the king of the beasts and the eagle the king of the birds, the gryphon is thought to be an especially powerful and majestic creature and king of all creatures.
