Undergraduate Can Tho University officially launched the logo for use in activities and communication campaigns to celebrate its 60th Anniversary (31 March 1966 – 31 March 2026).
Meaning of Can Tho University’s 60th Anniversary Logo
The logo marking Can Tho University’s 60th Anniversary was designed in the form of a stylized number “60”, in which the numerals “6” and “0” were shaped based on the infinity symbol (∞). This design element conveyed the continuous, enduring, and limitless transmission of knowledge across generations. Its soft, seamless curves symbolized an ongoing academic flow—constantly evolving, inheriting, and expanding from the past to the present and toward the future. In addition, the timeline 1966 • 2026, arranged along the contour of the “0”, both honored the University’s 60-year journey of formation and development and created a harmonious connection between the commemorative number and the historical milestones. This arrangement affirmed Can Tho University’s strong foundations as it continued to advance confidently into a new phase of growth.
Through a modern visual language imbued with profound meaning, the 60th Anniversary logo symbolized the essence of Can Tho University’s academic legacy, while further highlighting the University’s pioneering spirit, resilience, and unwavering aspiration for continued progress in pursuing new values and future achievements.
Meaning of the 60th Anniversary Slogan of Can Tho University
Along with the official launch of the 60th Anniversary logo, Can Tho University adopted the slogan “Creating Knowledge – Advancing Frontiers” as the key message that has consistently reflected the University’s resilient journey over the past six decades and its aspirations for the journey ahead.
“Creating Knowledge” reaffirmed Can Tho University’s mission to nurture elite human resources in an open, inspiring learning environment, where education is closely integrated with scientific research and the transfer of advanced technologies. Through this approach, the University has actively contributed to the sustainable prosperity of the Mekong Delta region and Vietnam as a whole. At Can Tho University, knowledge is not only imparted but also continuously generated, enriched, and widely disseminated through research, innovation, and meaningful engagement with the practical needs of regional and national development. This has been a long-term and enduring journey—one that placed people and the community at its center, while pursuing lasting academic and humanistic values.
“Advancing Frontiers” embodied the University’s commitment to inheriting and further promoting its pioneering legacy since its establishment on March 31, 1966. Throughout six decades of growth, transformation, and perseverance, Can Tho University has remained at the forefront of education and scientific research, making practical contributions to socio-economic development and international integration. This pioneering spirit has continued to be carried forward by generations of staff, employees, and learners—individuals driven by aspiration, innovation, and an unwavering dedication to making meaningful contributions.
The combination of the two parts of the slogan formed a harmonious whole, highlighting the strong connection between intellect and action, heritage and innovation, responsibility to the community, and the aspiration to reach further. More than a commemorative message marking a historic milestone, it also represented a long-term development orientation, reaffirming Can Tho University’s resilience, vision, and commitment in the context of higher education’s continuous transformation and deepening international integration.
Built upon a 60-year foundation of establishment and development, the slogan “Creating Knowledge – Advancing Frontiers” served as a powerful affirmation of the University’s belief in people, in its educational vision and philosophy, and in its leading role in supporting the sustainable development of the Mekong Delta region and Vietnam as a whole.
