The University of Lethbridge Students’ Union was incredibly excited to unveil
its new logo, to you, the members during 2007-2008. We believe this fresh logo
truly embodies the ultimate goal of the ULSU, the reason the organization
exists.
Significance of Our Logo
The ULSU is not a department of the University. We are an organization that
directly represents the needs of students at the University of Lethbridge. We
feel that the logo epitomizes our purpose.
The sun motif reflects our relation to the U of L community, while still
highlighting that we are a distinct entity from the University.
The circle represents our dedication to developing programs and services
that complete your experience while working towards your Undergraduate degree
at the U of L.
Our acronym, ULSU, is displayed prominently to remind all those who look
upon it that ultimately the reason we exist is to serve the students at the
University of Lethbridge.
The ULSU is very proud to be a part of your experience at the University of
Lethbridge. Look for this logo throughout campus; it will touch everything that
we do and many aspects of your life here.
History & The Previous Students' Union Logo
Prior to December 15, 1988 when the first University of Lethbridge Students'
Union first logo was officially approved by the Board of Governors, the ULSU
did not have a logo to represent the organization. The Executive Council of the
time saw the importance of identifying the ULSU to its members, and shortly
thereafter, developed a logo that reflected the needs of the some three
thousand students. This logo was also to symbolize a growing and dynamic bond
between the Students' Union and the University.
The logo was designed to link the corporate identity of the University with the
Student’s Union. The sun symbolized Southern Alberta. The structure the sun is
rising over UHall was readily recognizable to most students and administrators
as University Hall where the Students' Union office was located at that time.
Flash forward twenty years, to 2008. Students at the University of Lethbridge
have more than doubled, with approximately eight thousand individuals working
towards their Undergraduate degrees.
Throughout this time the Students’ Union has grown, always adapting to the
incredibly dynamic and rewarding environment that is the University of
Lethbridge. During the last twenty years, the needs of our students have
changed, but our logo has not. Until now.
