The Symbol
The symbol consists of a stylized tree. The origin is a Linnaeus drawing taken from his "Örtabok". While the tree is said to be a symbol for the month of May and to represent the power of growth, it also symbolize LNU's ambition to be a global university with the region as its base and the world as its arena.

It is not chaos or death—it is form, union, plan—it is eternal life—it is Happiness.”
