It is formed by a framed eagle, which corresponds to the former institutional logo, combined with the Gill Sans Serif font.This eagle, with a stylised profile, is reminiscent of the two-headed eagle of the House of Austria coat of arms that resides over the entrance to the UdG rectorate building.It consists of three highlighted blocks: the feathers, the head and the claws.The feathers endow the image with content and volume; the head, with a prominent, elegant neck and a softened beak, and the significant detail of the eye, transmits interest and a desire for knowledge; the claws are concentrated in a single stroke that accentuates the whole.
Use of the coat of arms is reserved for specific, important institutional events: the inauguration of the academic year, a new rector taking office, awarding honorary doctorates or student graduation ceremonies.Its graphic use may be authorised in other circumstances, where it might be advisable, through the Library, Editions and Content service.
