The logo itself is a Vinta, symbolizing the voyage of the students of the society in the vast Ocean, on what we refer as the field of History. The sail is primarily divided into three. The upper portion shows the colors of the University of Santo Tomas. The middle portion shows the different shades of the Society. Lastly, the lower portion shows the colors of the Faculty of Arts and Letters. Superimposed at the middle portion of the sail is the Baybayin translation of the word Kasaysayan. This symbolizes the History majors’ goal to spread awareness and consciousness to the Filipinos with regard to our own history. The hull of the boat, meanwhile, is colored black, carrying the name of the Society. It is colored such to represent the boldness of the Society—that we will be courageous enough to study History rightly and to correct the mistakes on the study of History.
