Hartnell University's seal was developed in August 2001 to pay homage to the school's first class. The seal depicts the traditional Hartnell beard logo outfitted with a graduation cap and encircled by the university's Latin motto "ex multis barbam, barbam unum" and its mascot name, "The Battling Beards". This seal continues to be the imprimatur, or official signature, of Hartnell University to this day.
To celebrate Dr. Hartnell's birthday, a new university crest was unveiled on October 1, 2001. Pulling from many heraldic elements, the crest was divided into four components all linked by a sword - the Medieval symbol for power and protection. The university's founding year, 2001, can be found in the top left. The graduation beard logo appears in the top right. Beneath the year are the words "CHASE IT!", the powerful "mantra" of the Battling Beards both academically and athletically. Lastly, the Latin motto can be found in the lower right. All elements of the crest are emblazoned on a field of "battle-blue and white", the official school colors of Hartnell University.
