About our logo
What it represents

The CERIAS Logo is of a magnifying glass, of the kind often seen in old Sherlock Holmes movies and artist conceptions of scientists at work. In both cases, the magnifying glass makes small features visible, providing important clues to an investigator. This represents our own work in research and the practice of infosec - making new features visible to students, researchers and practitioners. In the field of the magnifying glass, the “IAS” is enlarged. This signifies the Center’s focus on issues of Information Assurance and Security.
Our logo was designed for CERIAS by Michael Tieman of Artists Gallerie. He donated his efforts to Purdue University, and we are grateful for his work.
