Armorial is the name given to design elements used to represent an organization or institution. In the UK, universities have a collection of armorial designs or symbols that represent them. These designs have different colors, shapes, and symbols that all have special meanings that can tell you what the university is all about. For example, a red and gold shield might indicate strength, while a blue and white one might indicate loyalty. It's a bit like wearing a badge that tells people what your school stands for!
