Meanings of the university logo and flag

A logo for the University of Nineveh was chosen inspired by the history of the city, as the logo is in the middle of the Nergal Gate of the wall of the capital of the Assyrian state (Nineveh), and because the name of the university bears this ancient historical title from the city’s history and is known at the international level. The date of the university’s founding was also fixed at the bottom of both sides of the portal, along with the Gregorian and Hijri dates.
At the top of the slogan, the Noble Verse (Read, and your Lord is Most Generous) was chosen because of the great meanings it contains regarding the necessity of acquiring knowledge and knowledge. The verb “Read” in the Noble Verse refers first to the command to learn, which is the first step in obtaining knowledge, leading after that to the stage of conveying and teaching others, and all that. It will be with the help and support of the Most Generous, that is, the Creator, the Almighty, the Creator of all things. This verse took the shape of a crescent at the top of the logo, and the Kufic script was used to write the name (University of Nineveh), which is one of the scripts used in writing Quranic verses and transcribing the Holy Qur’an before the fourth century AH. The lines of the university’s letters extended to embrace the content of the logo of wisdom and history.
Earthy and brown are the predominant colors in the logo. It is a calm, neutral color that symbolizes status and reliability. The green color was also chosen to write the university’s name, and it is one of the colors that indicates peace, renewal, growth, and giving. A flag for the University of Nineveh was also chosen in colors inspired by the color of the logo. It is in the form of a rectangle two-thirds of its length and is divided diagonally into two halves. The upper part is white and the lower part is green because this color carries meanings previously mentioned in the university’s logo. The university’s logo was placed in Upper right corner of the flag.
