Foreword¶

After careful design and refinement, Universal Cup's visual identity has undergone a comprehensive upgrade today!

This new logo perfectly combines competitive spirit with technical excellence, giving Universal Cup a stronger and more distinctive brand identity.

Design Concept¶

The new logo is more than just a symbol; it is a tangible expression of our passion for algorithmic programming competitions. It ingeniously combines four core elements:

Trophy: Symbolizes the highest honor and the ultimate pursuit of excellence.

Code: The # symbol at the bottom represents the logic of every line of code written, the most solid foundation of competitions.

Global: The elegant curves outline a global vision, symbolizing Universal Cup's vision of connecting global tech enthusiasts and transcending geographical boundaries.

UCUP: The competition abbreviation is embedded within, and the streamlined design gives the overall logo a strong sense of dynamism and futurism.

This logo upgrade signifies that Universal Cup is stepping into a new phase that is more professional and possesses greater international vision. Thank you for your continued support.

For the new journey ahead, we will continue to fight side by side!

New Year Wishes¶

Wishing everyone a Happy New Year and good fortune in the Year of the Horse!
