Our Branding
Our New Brand – Room for Development and Connection
As USTP – University of Applied Sciences St. Pölten, we consistently continue our success story.
- Our brand stands for openness, movement, and collaboration.
- It embodies the courage to strike new paths – and creates room for development, diversity of perspectives, and inspiring encounters.
- It tells a story that brings together higher education, applied research, and Europeanness, connects disciplines, and facilitates continuous change.
Our new logo is the visual representation of this attitude

It symbolises an open space for ideas and the connection of disciplines, and it conveys trust and closeness.
The flowing design language reflects our conviction that learning and research need to remain dynamic in order to actively meet the challenges of a changing world.
