Vermont State University unveiled its new logo Tuesday, the latest milestone in the Vermont State Colleges System’s ongoing merger process.
The logo, with three interlocking triangles, “represents the Vermont landscape and the connection between the three schools as they come together to chart a new path forward for higher education in the state,” school administrators said in a press release Tuesday.
Vermont State University will be created through the merger of Castleton University, Northern Vermont University’s Lyndon and Johnson campuses, and Vermont Technical College. The Community College of Vermont, the fourth institution in the state colleges system, will stay separate.
Burlington-based designer Solidarity of Unbridled Labour created the logo as part of the university’s new “brand identity,” which is intended to showcase the schools’ union and Vermont roots.
“Our Vermont State University brand identity emphasizes the idea of togetherness. Together, we can do great things,” Sophie Zdatny, chancellor of the Vermont State Colleges System, said in the press release.
Publication of the logo came a month after the system announced its inaugural president, Dr. Parwinder Grewal, an entomologist and administrator at the University of Texas.
Vermont State University is slated to formally launch in the fall of 2023.
