A Shared Identity, One Mission

UAB’s brand is more than logos; it is how we present ourselves to the world. It reflects our dynamic growth, commitment to excellence, and bold vision for the future.

Our refreshed identity features a shared primary logo that is used across the University, Medicine and Athletics—a first in our history. This alignment reflects our shared mission to enrich society and improve health and well-being through transformational educational experiences, groundbreaking research, innovation and entrepreneurship, community engagement, and world-class patient care.

One notable change is that the UAB Medicine brand will now encompass all aspects of our academic medical center, including the UAB Heersink School of Medicine and its departments, centers, institutes, and programs. This strong connection between the Heersink School of Medicine and UAB Medicine clinical enterprise unifies our work, streamlines our message, and strengthens our voice and our impact on those we serve. Across the institution, our brand stands for excellence: nationally ranked academics, competitive athletics, and a premier academic medical center.
