UMZ Logo - Foreign

As One Of The Most Important Universities In Iran, University Of Mazandaran Has Introduced Its Official Logo At The Time When It Was Established.

Features Of UMZ's Logo:

A) Books are the tokens of science and knowledge, and University of Mazandaran has tried to mirror the logo's framework as an open book which depicts the scientific excellence of the university.

B) Our cultural, literary as well as ancestral beliefs are also portrayed in this logo. In Persian literature, knowledge is likened to a fruitful tree, as in the poem below:

Once your tree grows the fruit of knowledge
You shall be ruling the heavens

Which is a translation of the following poem by Nasser Khosrow:

درخت تو گر بار دانش بگیرد
به زیر آوری چرخ نیلوفری را

The Tree of Knowledge is a strong motif in Persian literature which is well portrayed in UMZ's logo.

The location of UMZ is also introduced by placing the Tree of Knowledge in the center of the logo. Taking into account that the University of Mazandaran is in northern part of Iran and it is a forest covered area, the tree can be a symbol of greenery and wisdom.

C) The waves which are placed at the bottom of the logo indicate the Caspian Sea; they indeed embrace the province of Mazandaran and the city of Babolsar.

D) The name of University of Mazandaran is written in Persian at the bottom of the logo for which Persian Nastaliq handwriting is used. This amazingly beautiful calligraphic style of handwriting is the result of centuries of artistic inspiration and hard work.
