About Universiti Sains Malaysia

The image shows a two-part university identity: at left is a detailed heraldic crest and at right a bold typographic mark. The crest contains a shield with an open book motif above a stylised hibiscus flower, flanked by two standing tigers, topped by a radiating sun and decorative fern-like leaves; a yellow ribbon with the words "KAMI MEMIMPIN" appears beneath. The crest is colorful and illustrative with fine outlines.

To the right is a modern, condensed wordmark of three large uppercase letters forming "USM". The letters are rendered in a deep purple with a white inset in the central letter and a small orange triangular accent at the bottom of the middle character, producing a strong, contemporary contrast to the traditional crest.
