A visually striking assembly of the top 1000 universities' logos from ARWU, sorted by color into a vibrant spectrum.

UniLogo

UniLogo assembles the logos of the top 1000 universities according to the Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU). The unique feature of this project is the color-based sorting of logos into a spectrum, presented in two formats: grid and dense paving.

Dense paving

Below is a sample of the densely paved logos (with 300 universities):

Below is the densely paved logos for top 300 universities by ranking:

Grid

Below is logos in 25*25 grid, if universities share same coordinate, only the university with the best rank is shown.

Next Steps

• Consider the proportion of the dominant color in the logo during sorting.
• Geometric clustering

Acknowledgements

The project is inspired by the report from Southern Metropolis Daily: We also statisticized the emblems of 920 colleges and universities and found that some emblems were drawn by Word (我们又统计了920所高校的校徽，发现有学校是用word画的)

Thanks to ARWU for the data, and to the respective universities for their logos.
