The bird of paradise and colours are a vital University identifier. Blue and gold, used by Western Pacific University, encompass the unifying brand element across a very culturally diverse country. In this way, the University wants to be the unifying factor in the country.
The colour blue relates to technology, efficiency and long lasting results and reinforces the concepts and values that a technological university wants to transmit. It inspires the university to challenge the status quo "sky is the limit" through research, quality of education and knowledge creation pushing innovations beyond established boundaries.
The second colour is gold, as the University aims to put emphasis on the quality in everything it does to achieve prestige and high standards.
