TA1038 - 10 ft diameter wall plaque University Seal Segment Plaque in Painted HDU (Part 2/4)
Oversized Monochrome University Seal Segment Plaque in Painted HDU
This large-scale segment of an academic seal was crafted in 2.5-D relief from High-Density Urethane (HDU), showcasing a dramatic black, gray, and white color palette. The plaque appears to represent a portion of a Latin-inscribed university or institutional crest, with bold ribbon folds, robed figures, architectural elements, and serif-lettered text arranged in a circular composition. Although only part of the full design is visible, the scale and detail suggest it is intended for prominent wall installation in a university lobby, lecture hall, or ceremonial space.
This plaque is part of our 2.5-D artist-painted HDU plaque series (Style 1.1.2), designed for large-format educational seals and institutional branding displays.
Prices for various sizes of this seal/plaque are given on our Price List for 2.5-D Artist-Painted HDU Plaques.

Oversized seal segments like this are ideal for creating dramatic focal points in auditoriums, alumni centers, libraries, and academic commons. They are often based on historical or Latin-based university seals and can be scaled from 3 feet to over 10 feet in diameter. This example uses grayscale shading and layered relief carving to create depth and form without relying on color, making it especially effective in modern or formal interior designs.
Constructed from exterior-grade HDU, the plaque is both lightweight and dimensionally stable. It is finished with matte and satin Matthews® polyurethane paints to create a refined tonal contrast while maintaining durability. This type of plaque can be produced in full circular form, as a partial section (as shown), or integrated into a larger architectural panel. Mounting systems include cleats or frame-integrated options depending on weight and wall type.
