Logo Usage
Southern Cross University was named after the constellation Southern Cross. This group of stars is best seen only in night skies of the Southern Hemisphere and has been used by generations of explorers to help them find their way on countless voyages of discovery.
It is composed of five star shaped like a cross tilted to one side. The Southern Cross has long played a significant role in Australian history - from Aboriginal legend to a symbol of freedom as it appeared on the flag that defiantly fluttered over the Eureka Stockade more than a century ago as Australia struggled to achieve its identity.
To this day, the Southern Cross remains a potent symbol appearing on both Australia's flag and Coat of Arms. Southern Cross University proudly continues the traditional of this iconic constellation by helping future generations - both nationally and internationally - to find their way on their own voyages of discovery in an increasingly complex world.
