What is UCLM?

UCLM is an abbreviation for the Spanish higher education institution, the University of Castilla-La Mancha. It has decentralized campuses located in several cities in the country, with the main center in Ciudad Real. The university was officially approved in 1982.

The basis of the logo is a crimson rectangle. In the lower part, there is the abbreviation UCLM; in front of it, there is an emblem, under them the full name Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha. White letters and symbols, Arial Bold font. Crimson and white are the signature colors of this institution. There is also a black and white version, which is used for prints.

The institutional emblem in the form of a white diamond with a red pattern of three arches has many meanings: in its image, it resembles a door – a symbol of openness to the world, as well as a keyhole that opens the key of knowledge. Each of the arches carries its symbolism: the upper one is made in the Gothic style, the middle one is Romanesque, and the lower one symbolizes Islamic culture. This emblem speaks of the unification of all people globally, regardless of origin, language, and religion.

One of the temporary versions of the logo was created in 2016 when the 400th anniversary of the second part of the book’s publication by Cervantes, “Don Quixote,” was celebrated. For the time being, the logo became square, the abbreviation UCLM remained at the bottom, a white pentagon with three lines “CER,” “IVAN,” “TES” was placed in the upper right corner. The letter V with the I in front of it denotes the Roman number IV – four centuries from the date of the book’s publication. The pen completes the design as a sign of writing.
