The Engineering Society crest is the official logo of EngSoc, and has also been adopted by the Faculty of Engineering as well. The crest was designed in 1968 by Veikko Kuronen as an entry to a logo design contest at the time. It has maintained its original form over the years, with symbols representing each of the six disciplines at the time: the partially toothed wheel represents Mechanical Engineering, the lightning bolt represents Electrical Engineering, the test tube represents Chemical Engineering, the transit represents Civil Engineering, the grey background represents Geological Engineering, and Systems Design is represented as the unifying circle which ties them all together.
Every discipline that has been introduced since then is represented within the original crest design: Computer and Software are included in the lightning bolt, Mechatronics Engineering is jointly represented by the gear and lightning bolt, Nanotechnology Engineering by the lightning bolt and test tube, Environmental Engineering by the transit and test tube, and Management Engineering by the lighting bolt and the unifying circle. Being the newest discipline, Management Engineering has found its place with the lighting bolt due to its integration with information systems software, and with the unifying circle due to its integration with process optimization.
Replicas of the crest (in the form of stickers, patches, etc.) can be purchased in the Engineering Society Novelties Store (CPH 1337A, right beside POETS), or in the Engineering Society Office (CPH 1327).
