Laser Logo
The colors of the University’s new logo, Pantone 109-C and 541-C, are seen a little differently by Joseph Vornehm Jr., a graduate student at the Institute of Optics who created this colorized spatial Fourier transform of the logo. If the logo were made of laser light, the laser wavelengths would be 473 nanometers for the blue and 573 nanometers for the yellow. The image above is a diagram of the logo’s broad and fine details, and would give scientists and optical engineers clues as to how to make a hologram of the logo.
