A varsity crest for the sport you play with your thumbs.

Gaming University is an emblem sticker drawn like a school shield, with two gamepads standing where the lions would normally go. It is a joke crest for squads, club teammates and anyone who treats ranked night like practice, and it adds a grin to a present for a gamer leaving for college.

Reading the crest from the top down

Start at the top, where a round gold medallion holds a compass-star emblem: four points inside thin rings, as if to say this squad knows where it is headed. Below it spreads a shield with a gold outline, a black inner line and a dusty steel-blue field.

Inside the blue sits a large gold controller shape marked with two icons, a plus-shaped D-pad on the left and four round buttons set in a diamond on the right. In front of it, two dark navy gamepads rest side by side, each with a pair of sticks and a few small colored buttons, while gold-and-black stripes fan out beneath them.

A black banner with a stepped gold edge crosses the lower part of the shield. GAMING arches over it in heavy, squared white capitals, the sort stitched onto a team jacket, and UNIVERSITY follows in smaller, widely spaced letters. The whole crest rests in the middle of a solid black square with open space on every side.

The drawing is flat and clean, in the manner of a modern team badge. No motto, no founding year, no mascot: just the two words and the gear, a made-up crest for the pastime you take a little too seriously and are happy to admit to.

One tidy square that hides what is under it

• Peels off as a single rounded-corner square, with a slim white kiss-cut border framing the artwork
• The vinyl is opaque enough to sit over an older sticker or a coat of paint and keep it out of view
• It presses down quickly, and air does not get trapped beneath it
• Durable vinyl, chosen for things you handle day after day
• A quick wipe of the spot beforehand is all the preparation it asks for

Who it's for

Squads with a group chat and a practice schedule, college esports club members, the roommate who runs the bracket, and parents shopping for a gamer about to leave home for school. Ideas for where it could go: a class binder, a headset case or a desk shelf. It suits a graduation card, a move-in day care package, a team thank-you when the season wraps up, or a birthday.

Quick answers

Which part of each option is printed?

All of it on the three square options: the printed square measures about 3″, 4″ and 5½″ across, with the crest in the middle and open space around it. The 15″×3.75″ option is a larger backing with one such square on it, about 3¾″ (9.5 cm) tall.

Does the crest belong to an actual college or team?

No. The shield, the banner and the name were drawn as a joke for people who play, and they stand for no school, league or program. Think of it as a badge your own squad is free to adopt.

Why is there a compass star above the shield?

Crests traditionally crown the shield with a symbol. Here it is a compass-star emblem, a small nod to finding your way: across a map, through a bracket, or toward teammates worth keeping.

Could a whole squad stick on the same one?

That is a natural use for it. Nothing in the art names a player, a year or a particular game, so the crest fits a whole roster without anyone having to share a nickname.
