ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½ Launches New Logo

Home>News>

The American University of Paris is proud to reveal its new logo designed to represent the University’s rising profile and global reach as we move forward, as a community, into an exciting future.

Throughout a collaborative creative process, committees consisting of students, faculty, staff, alumni and the ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½ Leadership Team, as well as communications professionals, college counselors and employers, offered their insights into what makes ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½ unique. The design team used this feedback to build up a picture of several key aspects of an ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½ education: the notion of individual pathways through higher education, the transformative nature of ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½'s unique curriculum, and the feeling of convergence inherent in studying at a meeting place of perspectives, disciplines and cultures.

The resulting logo incorporates these concepts into a bold new monogram, designed to carry the University into an exciting future – one in which it is ever closer to its goal of becoming the premier American international institution of higher learning in Europe. The logo aims to be a long-term solution to the University’s branding needs. Its flexible design exists in three-, two- and one-line versions, as well as a standalone monogram.

The logo is launching in time for ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½â€™s 60th-anniversary year, and as such ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½ also developed a special anniversary edition of the design. This additional version allows ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½ to commemorate six decades of liberal arts learning on the banks of the Seine throughout the coming academic year, without losing sight of the long-term goals of the University.
