-No later than [[1900]], Huger Elliott (School of Architecture 1899) executed a logo design for the Crown that prominently featured the eponymous crown. While not a completely faithful reproduction of the actual [[King's Crown]] of [[College Hall]], the design is arguably the forefather of all Crown's being used as symbols of the school. In [[1906]] the class of [[1881]] donated a flagstaff for a flag bearing the crown logo of the King's Crown organization. What would become what we now know as the [[Columbia College]] Crown debuted in [[1910]] on the cover of ''[[Columbia Alumni News]]'', beginning as a sketch during the spring of 1910, and becoming the familiar graphic design by the fall.
