Campus emblem
The design of the campus emblem is based on the Turkmenistan national emblem. The campus emblem consists a blue octagonal star (known as the Rub el Hizb (۞), a symbol that represents Islam – the religion which the people of Petrovburg profess in a majority) with red edges. The emblem carries sheaves of wheat, Canterlot City's main crest, the name of the campus, camellia flowers, and centered upon that a smaller light blue circle with the depiction of a pony – a source of pride for the people of Petrovburg. The campus emblem is officialy used for Canterlot Presidentials when His Excellency Vladimir Diana quotes that the octagonal star has been considered to be a symbol of abundance, prosperity, peace and tranquillity.
