Move uni-logo to the bottom of the title page #50

How can I move the position of the uni-logo?

The official layout for our uni has it at the bottom of the page.

The overall layout of the title page is defined in templates/ociamthesis.cls.

So one way to move the university logo to the bottom is to go there and replace these lines (approximately starting at line 198)

\begin{center}
    { \thesistitlesize {\bfseries {\@title}} \par}
{\large \vspace*{\gapbeforecrest} {\crest \par} \vspace*{\gapaftercrest}}
    {{\Large \@author} \par}
{\large \vspace*{1ex}
    {{\@college} \par}
\vspace*{1ex}
    {\university \par}
\vspace*{20mm}
    {{\submittedtext} \par}
\vspace*{1ex}
    {\it {\@degree} \par}
\vspace*{2ex}
    {\@degreedate}}
  \end{center}

with this

\begin{center}
    { \thesistitlesize {\bfseries {\@title}} \par}
\vspace*{10mm}
    {{\Large \@author} \par}
{\large \vspace*{1ex}
    {{\@college} \par}
\vspace*{1ex}
    {\university \par}
\vspace*{20mm}
    {{\submittedtext} \par}
\vspace*{1ex}
    {\it {\@degree} \par}
\vspace*{2ex}
    {\@degreedate} \par}
    {\large \vspace*{45mm} {\crest \par}}
  \end{center}

The title page will then look like this:
