Univalle (Colombia) Hoodie: Design Overview
This hoodie showcases the iconic visual identity of Universidad del Valle (Univalle), a prominent public university in Cali, Colombia. The design centers around the university's logosímbolo, a modern and impactful graphic representation.
The Logosímbolo: A Foundation of Identity
The primary design element is Univalle's logosímbolo, built upon a structured foundation. It features a perfect square subtly divided into a 3x3 grid of smaller squares. Overlaid upon this grid is the "UV" initialism, representing Universidad del Valle. This "UV" element is rendered in a visually arresting inverted configuration, creating a dynamic interplay with the underlying grid structure.
Color and Symbolism
The central element of the design is the red logosímbolo. The use of red is intentional, directly referencing one of the university's official colors. The color palette itself has specific meaning. The colors, red and white, embody Univalle's core functions: Docencia (Teaching), Investigación (Research), and Extensión (Outreach / Extension).
Typographic Detail
Complementing the graphic element is the textual component. "Universidad del Valle" is displayed in a bold Helvetica font, with a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters. This typography adds a clear and easily recognizable identifier for the university.
A Modern Approach
The overall design reflects Univalle's embrace of a modern visual identity. Unlike traditional heraldic approaches, the focus is on a clean, graphic representation of the institution's values and mission.
