The center circle represents the university campus, a place where people gather, learn, and engage in social and cultural exchange and activities. The blue color used for the "O" represents intelligence, sincerity, inquisitiveness, and independence, while the yellow color for the "U" symbolizes hope, growth, and happiness. .
