In the decade of the 1950's, the University commissioned Colombian painter, illustrator and sculptor Sergio Trujillo Magnenat (1911 – 1999) to design a Coat of Arms for the institution. Trujillo Magnenat, inspired by a little Cypress forest inside the campus, designed the Coat as an Or colored Square Iberian shield with a Sable colored motive of a Cypress tree in its center. At the bottom of the shield, there is a banderole with the name of the University in Spanish as the motto of the coat and written with a Blackletter-esque script.
Trujillo Magnenat's intention with the logo was to create a design with a degree of abstraction so the viewers of it would try to find out the meaning of the coat of arms by themselves.

For the 60th anniversary of the University in 2008, the University along with Colombian marketing company CompassBranding transformed the Coat of Arms into a logo with an even more simplified version of the cypress tree, but this time the shape of the tree is fused with the border of the logo, while preserving the colors yellow and black of the original coat of arms. The font used is an in-house font called Uniandes Medium, which is a variation of the font Dax Medium.
