What is the
Lasallian
brand of
education?

In the Philippines, De La Salle University has earned the recognition of being a leader in higher education. Following the faith and charism of St. John Baptist de La Salle—Founder of the Brothers of the Christian Schools and Patron Saint of Teachers—DLSU pursues the development of knowledge
by providing an empowering and transformative education. The University is acknowledged for its excellence and service, replete with a deep sense of history and Christian tradition and, at the same time, attuned to the emerging cultures brought about by technological advancements. The growing network of La Salle alumni, leaders, and achievers not only in the country but also in the international scene defines best the quality of Lasallian education.

Such is the essence of De La Salle University, and this distilled description is captured in its official symbol, which has been carried by the Institution since its establishment as a university in 1975.

In 1998, DLSU embarked on reinforcing its image as a trailblazing academic institution that is pro-active in the task of community and nationbuilding with “The Future Begins Here” brand positioning. With a giant leap into academic marketing, the University has since developed among its community members a strong brand awareness, giving a more focused direction on the way the different sectors of the University conduct official communication. Through the University’s purposeful campaign using various media, “The Future Begins Here” motto has become distinctly associated with DLSU.

The University continues to take crucial steps in its continuing campaign to maintain, protect, and build its image, vis-à-vis the renaming of some of its colleges and campuses.

The current logos of the DLSU colleges and schools aim to be consistent with the forward-looking, dynamic character that DLSU had communicated to its various stakeholders throughout the past decade. The changes also evoke the image of a capable academic and research leader. Each design has taken into consideration the vision-mission, the fundamental quality, and the
directions of the college. This Institutional Identification Manual provides the guidelines for the consistent use and application of the university signature as well as the college and school signatures.
This manual also includes the various applications of these institutional signatures.
