Logo
The current Ang Pamantasan logo is partly patterned after the official seal of the PLM, which depicts a sunbeam, with a design consisting of a central disk with fourteen radiating spires that represent the geographical districts of Manila - Binondo, Quiapo, Sampaloc, San Miguel, San Nicolas, Santa Cruz, Santa Mesa, Tondo, Ermita, Intramuros, Malate, Paco, Pandacan, Port Area, San Andres Bukid and Santa Ana. The central disk is divided into four equal parts. The disk's upper half is colored red on the right and white on the left, while the lower half is colored blue on the right and white on the left.
Placed on the two white parts are two letters from the alibata (an ancient native alphabet). The letter at the upper part is a letter "A" in today's modern Filipino alphabet, while the letter in the lower part is a letter "P". The two letters combined form the publication's initials, AP.
Three more elements are superimposed on the central disk - a sunburst (which represents light and truth), a scroll (which represents paper) and a quill (which represents a pen).
