UWF's official mascot is the [[Argonaut]], a mythical group of Greek sailors, who accompanied Jason to Colchis in his quest for the Golden Fleece. However, the official logo of the institution is the Chambered Nautilus; because of this, students jokingly refer to themselves as the UWF "Fighting Seashells."{{Fact|date=February 2007}}
The official logo of the institution is the Chambered Nautilus. Dr. [[Harold Crosby]], the university’s first president, selected the chambered nautilus to represent UWF because he was inspired by the poem [http://www.uwf.edu/standards/graphic/pop/poem.html The Chambered Nautilus] by Oliver Wendell Holmes; it is "a symbol of growth, change and accomplishment."<ref name ="Nautilus">[http://www.uwf.edu/standards/graphic/logo.html Offical page about the logo]</ref>
