    why draw it? why not include the official logo you have? – David Carlisle Jul 05 '13 at 00:53

    Do you really need to draw this in LaTeX? Can’t you simply include it as an image (PNG or PDF)? – Qrrbrbirlbel Jul 05 '13 at 00:54

    I think that for this kind of drawing, some other tool might be better (faster results can be obtained with other tools). If you insist on using LaTeX for this, in Draw a Coat of Arms in LaTeX you can find some initial ideas. – Gonzalo Medina Jul 05 '13 at 00:54

    Apparently there are some "unofficial" vector versions of this coat of arms (University of Auckland). Personally, I'd use an official file provided by the university, probably a .png or similar. – Paulo Cereda Jul 05 '13 at 01:00

    Welcome to TeX.SX. Questions about how to draw specific graphics that just post an image of the desired result are really not reasonable questions to ask on the site. Please post a minimal compilable document showing what you've tried to produce the image and then people will be happy to help you with any specific problems you may have. See minimal working example (MWE) for what needs to go into such a document. – mafp Jul 05 '13 at 01:25
  • It seems the University of Auckland has several publishing style guides. Contacting the appropriate department might get you the styles/graphics that you need. See UOA Style Guide Search – rickhg12hs Jul 05 '13 at 06:00
  • Drawing that kind of picture isn't that easy (either using tikz or Pstricks). Maybe it will take a TON of time to produce a drawing similar than the one you have and probably, the professor or the one who sees that picture won't even realize about the difference. Better follow David's answer. – Charlie Jul 05 '13 at 05:50

You should be able to obtain a scalable image to include from your University, but even a png will do, such as the low resolution image in your question, which may be used as

enter image description here

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{graphicx}

\begin{document}

\includegraphics[height=100pt]{cs5KC}

write stuff here write stuff here write stuff here 
write stuff here write stuff here write stuff here 

\end{document}

If you can find a true eps version of the logo from the University services, you may want to convert it to pgf using the eps2pgf converter. true here means "vector graphics".
