Short for Pennsylvania State University, Penn State's shortened nickname is recognizable enough that it is featured on the school's professional logo designs. The logo, which is colored in the university's distinctive blue, features a 'Nittany Lion', which is a type of mountain lion that was once found commonly in the area as well as the school mascot. The graphic is shaped like a shield and features the year that the school was founded, 1855, both of which lend an air of establishment and tradition.

The original Penn State University seal with the founding date of 1855 on it is very similar to the Pennsylvania State flag.
