“The change will make it easier for people to identify the logo with the university.”
He said this after lauching the new logo at the Sultan Iskandar Hall at the university’s campus in Skudai, Johor, last Tuesday.
Dr Zaini added that with 61 institututions of higher learning in the country, identifying each logo with the intitutions they represent was a dauning task.
