The UAAP Season 88 logo, with flames in the member university colors forming the stylized number 88, was designed by the UST College of Fine Arts and Design.
UAAP Season 88 takes on a powerful meaning this year with the theme “Strength in Motion, Hope in Action,” capturing not just the intensity of collegiate competition, but the deeper purpose behind it: to inspire transformation, resilience, and unity.
Hosted by the University of Santo Tomas, the opening of the upcoming UAAP season coincides with the Jubilee of Hope declared by the late Pope Francis, making the message all the more resonant.
“Strength in Motion” reflects the relentless discipline and drive of student-athletes who train and compete with purpose, while “Hope in Action” honors the inner resolve to keep striving, rising, and believing—regardless of obstacles.
That spirit comes alive in the new UAAP Season 88 logo, which features two interlocking number eights forming the shape of a flame—a symbol of shared passion and collective power.
The flowing strokes represent motion and progress, while the colors, inspired by each member school, emphasize unity in diversity.
Together, the theme and logo serve as a visual and emotional rallying cry: that when athletes, schools, and communities move as one, real change can be achieved.
Season 88 will be more than a sporting spectacle—it’s a celebration of courage, purpose, and the unshakable hope that drives us forward.
