Coat of arms

The coat of arms has four key elements; a shield, crest, motto and supporters. The shield is always the basis of a coat of arms and items that appear on the shield are known as charges. Northumbria's shield contains two triple-towered castles, representing the City of Newcastle upon Tyne, and an open book which represents learning. The arched line of battlements dividing the shield refers to the Roman Wall, a historic feature of Northumberland. Whilst the curve of the arch reflects the King George the Fifth Bridge over the River Tyne, more generally the bridge alludes to the University s role in the transmission of knowledge to, and strong links, with the society in which its located.

The new logo (source: https://nustem.uk/nu_logo_black), the shield, is not a new design. It comes directly from the University coat of arms. The only real change is to align it to the new brand palette black and white." The new logo was adopted in 2018.
