Gallaudet Reveals New Logo

Washington, D.C. -- December 7, 2011 -- Gallaudet University ushered in a new era today with the unveiling of a new university logo. Derrick Behm, and Dr. T. Alan Hurwitz reveals the new logo for all to see.

The symbolic design of the logo represents the university's bilingual mission by portraying "Gallaudet University" in American Sign Language (ASL) as well as in English, the two languages contained in the mission. The ASL component is demonstrated by the two arches meeting at a point. The design represents the movement of the sign for "Gallaudet" which is the letter "g" formed with the forefinger and thumb making an arch across the brow and meeting near the temple.
