The university adopted as its symbol the metamorphosis of the rooted, green tree that becomes an eagle soaring upwards, according to the motto “Mens Agitat Molem”, creation of the graphic designer Ştefan Orth. In the heralded formula, the sign appears framed in a shield with a round sole and a red field as a heraldic sign of university autonomy, furnished with the metamorphosis in question shown in black.

The emblem is the symbol of university autonomy as provided in the Carta and in the Romanian Constitution.
