The new logo of the centenary year of the University of Mysore (UoM), designed by Pramoda Devi Wadiyar, wife of late scion of Mysore Royal Family, who is a designer and an alumnus of Mysore University is a tribute to Nalwadi Krishnaraja Wadiyar, the Kannada language and to the University of Mysore.
The logo, which was unveiled yesterday by Pramoda Devi Wadiyar at the Crawford Hall, has ‘Naa’ in Kannada, KR in bold (an abbreviation of Nalwadi Krishnaraja Wadiyar, the erstwhile ruler and the founder of the University of Mysore) and a pattern outlining the letters UoM.
Only three colours maroon, blue and yellow are used in the design as maroon denotes the colour of the University gown, blue denotes blazer and number 100 in yellow colour denotes the colour of Kannada flag.
The cap which is worn during the graduation ceremony also finds a place in the middle order. Sanskrit words ‘Nahi Jnanena Sadrusham’ which means ‘Nothing is purer or equal to knowledge,’ which adorns the top of the logo, while ‘Mysooru Vishwavidyanilaya’ in Kannada has been etched at the bottom of the logo.
