Symbols

	Our current symbol, in spite of being all-out new, keeps the same merge of focus and color that the former one had. As a whole, the elements that comprise the symbol exude a modern image, corporate education and growth within theCaribbean and international setting. Its perspective and bi-dimensional shape convey a concrete direction, steadiness, development and improvement. The transparencies convey union, commitment and participation. The following are the constituting elements: A Palm Tree: the University; The Ring: the sun, the world and rotation; the color: green is our corporate color, which besides serving as a linkage image element with the previous symbol, conveys freshness, renewal, Caribbean identity and co-habitation with the environment.
	The “U” represents the university lifestyle: our academic purpose, our professors and research, social projection, essence, critical, flexible and our globaleducational project. The “U” is the linking element with our partner institutions. It also comes to be the containing element, where everything flows. Its perspective and angular shape conveys a particular direction. Its core is full of color, solidity and graphic strength.
	The Royal Palm Tree is the axis of the Republican Coat of Arms of Cartagena, proud of its past tradition and haughtily confident in its future projection. In addition to being a typical element of the Caribbean region, it represents growth, steadiness, adaptation to winds of change; its roots are firm, conveying stability and stamina. The transparency or contrast conveys clarity, sincerity, a new dawning. Its position within the symbol represents a horizon: the Caribbean as a cornerstone of our projection to the world.
	The Ring –a circle that represents a world in interaction, globalization and internationalization. It is intertwined with the both the Palm Tree and the edge side of the symbol. It is the basic linking element. The Palm Tree is open in its core, which symbolizes our Caribbean projection from Cartagena de Indias towards the whole globe. The circle also depicts a concept of community, environmental responsibility and service dynamics.
