How relevant is having a Psalm as a motto? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominus_illuminatio_mea https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominus_illuminatio_mea

  Relevant to what? Things aren't relevant in isolation. We're talking about the logo of an historic institution, part of an institution with an even deeper history, the sort of place where you might expect a person chosen at random to be able to understand that motto.

    Relevant to the common alive person. I'll be that person chosen at random; I don't understand the motto. How is it relevant to a school? Good riddance.

      Maybe you aren't relevant to Oxford University Press — very seriously, no insult meant. You're not the audience, and whether you understand it is not their concern.

        That is likely, but you're alluding you know who the audience is when you don't. I'm correct in assuming you don't work for Oxford. I obviously lied and said I didn't understand to entertain the conversation that I was confused by the use of a psalm. If I'm honest, I mostly just find it archaic, which is maybe appropriate for a school as old as Oxford. Why do you personally think they removed it? Bad Design?
