PUP LOGO
The star in the logo stands for the perfection of the human person as well as the search for truth, while the five concentric circles depict infinite wisdom.
Both the five-pointed star and the five concentric circles stand for quintessence, meaning the highest form of quality or the most perfect example of creation.
The star is golden yellow not only because this is a star’s natural color but also because, together with the dark maroon used as background, it is the traditional color of the University.
The five concentric circles are white because it symbolizes purity.
