The logo of National Law University Delhi is crucial in understanding the multi-faceted nuances of this academic institution.
Meaning, “There Shall Justice Prevail”, the structure is composed of 3 elements: n (N), L (L) and U (U) which are interlinked by the second element of L. In its totality, it represents the harmonious confluence of different elements of disciplines and level—a rule that Law and its executive, the judicial system also performs. Individually, the ‘N’ and ‘U’ are downward and upward facing, symbolising polar and complementary outlooks, through which Law threads its way. The extension of ‘L’ or Law to beneath the layer, attempts to encapsulate the concerns of equality and social justice. The emphasis is on the ‘Rule of Law’ (represented by the second ‘L’) in promoting social justice, particularly targeting the vulnerable population, which is lowest on the social ladder. Its columnar arrangement suggests an upholding of justice, equality, fraternity, and human rights in all their facets to reach at a secular democracy.
