unveil the University of Technology, Jamaica's 50th
anniversary postage stamp at a special launch ceremony
held on Monday, May 26, 2008 at the Alfred Sangster
auditorium, UTech. The stamp features the 50th anniversary
emblem and the souvenir sheet features the University's
eight schools and two departments superimposed on a
background photograph of graduates during a graduation
ceremony.

The 50th anniversary logo was designed by Graphic Artist
and Lecturer in the Faculty of the Built Environment, Mr.
Ian Beckford. The golden disc in the background of the
logo provides the perfect backdrop for the "50" and
the University's emblem. The use and symbolism of the circles
purports continuity, community, unity, strength, perfection,
balance and solidity. The 50th anniversary logo epitomizes
the resilience and strength of the University of Technology,
Jamaica, its students and staff. Gold visually reinforces
the fact that a 50th anniversary is noted as a golden anniversary
and echoes the shade of yellow which is present in the
University's emblem. The use of banners add to the jubilant
and festive atmosphere normally associated with such celebrations.
