The Department of Physics' visual identity is built around a fundamental physical phenomenon: heat transfer through materials.
The logo stylizes this process through a geometric abstraction of a three-edge joint (resembling the corner of a material like ceramic or brick). Three separate lines emerge dynamically from a single starting point, symbolizing the complex interplay of energy within the structure of the material.
The color palette is deeply symbolic and directly references thermodynamic principles:
Warm tones (orange, red) represent high thermal energy and the process of its transfer.
The cold tone (turquoise/blue) visually depicts the medium or the area into which the heat is being transferred.
