1956 – Today
The UiTM badge is composed of a graphical emblem in a shape of a rounded crest and is sometimes accompanied by a three-leveled inscription, with delicate and elegant additional purple lettering in Malay. The crest featured a solid blue background with an enlarged purple circle on it. On the dark background, you can see the yellow geometric ornament, placed vertically above two stylized crossed daggers in white, accompanied by two crossed straight lines, also in white.
UiTM FC Logo
Apart from classic education, the university is also famous for its athletic program, especially the football club, which has a separate logo.
2008 – Today
The badge of the UiTM football club was introduced in 2008, and by 2023 hasn’t been redesigned yet. It is set in a shape of a horizontally-stretched rhomboid crest with slightly arched sides on the bottom, and a straight sort one — on top. The crest is executed in a purple and yellow color palette, with two white rampant lions back-to-back drawn on it. The lions are accompanied by three white football above their heads, and a solid yellow lettering at the bottom.
Font and color
The elegant uppercase lettering from the primary logo of UiTM is set in a classy serif typeface with medium-weight bars of the characters. The closest fonts to the one, used in this insignia, are, probably, Bookman Old Style Pro Roman, or Bogue Slab Light, with some minor modifications of the contours.
As for the color palette of the UiTM visual identity, it is based on a bright and intense combination of purple, blue, and yellow, with white additions. The name of the blue, used here is Prussian Blue, while the second main shade is vivid violet. Yellow elevated the brightness of the badge and adds a sense of energy and development.
