Spirit Mark

Our spirit mark is the most informal of our brand assets, created to evoke a sense of energy, pride, drive and action. It’s ideally suited to represent the hard-driving, competitive nature of UB Athletics, but is available for use across the entire university community to reflect spirit, pride and the student experience.
