This is the Harvard University coat of arms. The blazon is Gules, three open books proper inscribed VE RI TAS. Veritas is Latin for "truth".

Harvard University first created a version of its arms in 1644, but it was lost over the years. It was revived with some changes for the university's 1836 bicentennial[1]. This version has been in use for over 150 years, so copyright over it has subsequently expired. However, its use as a trademark is still protected by law. User:Jacobolus has provided this rendering.

Note: the version of this logo currently in use at the Harvard University page is a rougher-looking version, used on official business cards (or at least that's where I got pdf of it)
