What does the new imagery in the seal, logo, and emblem mean?
The tree stands as a symbol of academic and personal growth, knowledge, and transformation. The fact that it is an orange tree recalls our past as a campus that grew from among the orange groves, and also reflects our home here in Orange County. The mountain imagery, inspired by the ranges to the north and east, helps to further define our place in the world, while also representing strength and permanence. The sunrays convey a sense of vision, optimism, and confidence in the future. We believe these images together help communicate the qualities and values the university promotes.
