The former Division, now School, of Engineering and Applied Sciences at Harvard, at http://www.deas.harvard.edu/ , has a very curious use of the arms of Harvard with a sable rather than gules field.  At first I thought this could perhaps be the arms of the School itself, but it uses the regular Harvard arms elsewhere.  I am going to try to find out about this.

All trademarks at Harvard, including heraldry, is managed by Mr. Rick Calixto (Rick_Calixto at harvard.edu), The engineering school committee in charge their logos has a member studying trademarks and heraldry, Michael Rutter (mrutter at deas.harvard.edu).  Their library also uses a new black and white shield, which is improperly tricked: http://library.deas.harvard.edu/
