Ivy League Alliance
The "Ivy League" alliance, alliance short name "IVY", was founded as a collection of corporations with related interests. In practice, it is an organizational abstraction, and now consists almost entirely of EVE University and it's support corporations. For most purposes, the Ivy League Alliance and the EVE University Corporation are synonyms, though technically EVE University is a subset of the Ivy League Alliance.
Creation
The Ivy League Alliance was created by Morning Maniac on September 17, 2006, with the name being chosen by a vote of the membership, as a nod to the collection of further education establishments in the United States.
Logo
Near the end of 2006, a competition was run by Morning Maniac to design a logo for the Alliance to be inserted into the EVE client by CCP. The contest was won by Kelduum Revaan, and used elements of the EVE University logo as it was at the time - a golden eagle on a blue banner - combined with a shield representing the protection from war-declarations, and skillbook, signifying learning.
