SDU’s logo consists of a monogram and a symbol. The monogram is the acronym SDU written in capital letters that are based on the LL Brown font. The symbol is a stylised apple branch featuring a branch, an apple and two leaves, one of which is rising from the branch.
While the monogram signals focus and a highly professional level in a sober fashion, the apple branch harks back to SDU’s historical heritage. At the same time, the leaves are pointing up and forward, thus representing SDU’s accessibility and international outlook.
SDU’s logo may be used for all printed matter, theses, dissertations etc. that are produced in connection with work, education and research at SDU. If SDU is a partner or supplier in connection with products or research projects, it must be stated that SDU is not the sender. Please find the rules for logo placement etc. in our branding guide .
