About UKM

A heraldic shield/crest divided into colored fields under a small open book at the top. The shield's top horizontal band is red and contains a yellow, black-striped tiger facing left. The left middle field is yellow with a simplified atomic symbol in black; the right middle field is light blue with a white gear and an engineer's compass. The lower point of the shield is white and shows a stylized red hibiscus (five-petaled flower) at the tip.

To the right of the crest is a bold, black wordmark in uppercase letters reading "UKM" (with additional smaller text lines to the right that are not legible at this resolution). The overall style is flat, vector-like, and strongly emblematic of an academic institution crest.
