The full BU125 Medallion is filled with meaning that connects it to our past, our future, our communities, and our campus.

Layered Symbolism

125

Our milestone anniversary marks generations of commitment to our city and our region connecting dedicated faculty and staff with bright students and devoted alumni.

OUTER RING

Without beginning or end, this circle connects us to our unending academic mission and is a symbol of our unity.

NAME & FOUNDING

Our current name of Brandon University connects with the date of our initial establishment as Brandon College.

Woven with meaning

FLAME — From blue to gold, the colours of a flame connect the BU125 Medallion to the colours of our logo and to the Lamp of Knowledge that is ablaze in our Coat of Arms.

SUNRISE — Rising over the rich prairie landscape, sunlight dawns, as we connect the past to the future and enter the promise of a new day.

WEAVE — Overlapping elements connect to each other while the colours make a smooth stepped transition, visualizing the process of learning and discovery while echoing the Indigenous braid from Mamaawii-atooshke aakihkiwiin, our strategic plan.

What do you see?

Often, we connect to images in ways that draw on our own unique experiences. The BU125 Medallion is yours to interpret in a way that is meaningful to you.
