University Wordmark
After the name change to University in June, 1996, a process for considering a change in the institution's logo began. Following a process involving an open contest; faculty, student, staff, alumni, and community input; and, finally, artwork from a professional graphics design firm, the wordmark, University of West Georgia (shown here), was adopted by the Faculty Senate in March, 1997. The new symbol is designed to achieve more widespread recognition by using a wordmark that is easily identifiable.
