Seal
Originally created by Ignacio Villareal Junco, UDEM's seal consists of three books meant to symbolize the letters "U" and "M" in Universidad de Monterrey. The university colors are yellow and black and are usually added to the seal image. According to its creator, the color yellow signifies the light of knowledge, sensibility and intuition.
In 2002, two circles which contain the Latin phrase that currently serves as the University's motto were added. This phrase Homo Hominis In Servitio Perficitur when translated means "Man is perfected in the service of man". Finally, laurels were added to the image which symbolize triumph and success.
