The NCST logo exemplifies the institutions’ view of education. The shield serves as a bold statement of the role that NCST has chosen both as guardian and champion of the finest ideals of high education. The face of the shield bears the following: the atom which represents science as a vital tool for development; the gear and lightning for power through technology; the computer for information technology and the open book with a torch on the center represents the original purpose of guided education. Beneath the shield is a single bendlet bearing the name of NCST which surmounts the other heraldic bearings and borne as a difference in mark.
