Universität Würzburg stellt neues Corporate Design vor

Mehr als 20 Jahre lang prägte das bisherige Logo in Klammerform den visuellen Auftritt der Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg (JMU) – jetzt wird es durch ein neues, kreisförmiges Logo ersetzt. Es ist Teil des neuen Corporate Designs, das die Universität nun vorgestellt hat und zu dem auch ein überarbeitetes Universitätssiegel, eine neue Farbwelt, neue Schriften und bald auch ein zeitgemäßer Webauftritt gehören. Gemeinsam sollen diese Elemente für ein modernes Erscheinungsbild der Universität sorgen – sowohl in der visuellen Kommunikation als auch im digitalen Raum.

Neues Semester steht vor der Tür

Exakt 24.796 Studierende sind bis jetzt (Stand 8.10.2026) an der Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg (JMU) für ein Studium eingeschrieben. Zum Vergleich: Im vergangenen Jahr waren es kurz vor Beginn der Vorlesungen 25.295. Hauptgrund für den leichten Rückgang sind die Nachwirkungen des weitgehend fehlenden Abiturjahrgangs 2025 in Bayern.
