University Logo

The Hawai‘i Pacific University LOGO SIGNATURE is collectively defined as the sum of its two parts: the LOGO MARK and the LOGO TYPE. The Hawai‘i Pacific University identity reflects the values of the University’s dedication to excellence in education and its standing as one of the most globally diverse educational institutions in the United States. Inspired by the meaning “Kōīau Pono Ka ‘Ike,” or “Knowledge Is within the Flowing Currents,” the logo visually represents faculty and students in the two diamond figures in the center of the logo. The LOL菠菜竞猜App values of aloha, pono and kuleana are represented as three horizontal lines evenly spaced across the logo as equally important values running throughout the institution and imparting knowledge and enlightenment. Our location in the Nu‘uanu valley is shown as the flowing vertical lines representing the ‘auwai or waters of the valley: Waipuilani, Alekoki, and Waikahalulu. The confluence of water, of energy, and of flow that we have here are at the bottom of the valley provides all that is good from the land—grounding us firmly in Hawai‘i.
