Inspired by the city’s rich history, UNF’s brand refresh embraces energy and innovation.
2026 has been a banner year for University of Niagara Falls Canada (UNF). May saw the celebration of UNF’s inaugural convocation ceremony and for the second straight year was recognized with the award for Most Innovative Higher Education Institution 2026 – Ontario as part of Corporate Vision’s Education and Training Awards. Designed with students in mind, innovative, career-focused programs and hands-on, experiential learning delivered by expert faculty and staff create the academic experience learners have come to expect at UNF.
“UNF is excited to unveil a fresh look that celebrates the spirit and energy of our students, and the amazing place where our university is situated, the inspiring Niagara Falls,” says David Gray, President and Vice-Chancellor of UNF. “As UNF makes plans for what’s next, we will be further aligning our brand with those values - a welcoming place for future focused-students with bold ideas.”
The city of Niagara Falls unique history has long been a launchpad for innovation, a place for bright minds who seek adventure and thrive on connection. In 1895, Nikola Tesla stood at Niagara Falls and understood it as a force waiting to rewire the world. His patents built the power station still standing here. In 2024, UNF founded a university on the same ground. Niagara Falls has always been where impossible things become real. In the spirit of that legacy, UNF is expanding their tagline: Innovation flows here. It always has.
UNF’s new colour palette keeps blue at the heart of their identity but welcomes yellow and orange to reflect the momentum the school is working to bring to UNF’s future, teal to represent the undergraduate journey of growth, discovery and possibilities, and magenta to reflect the graduate journey, representing ambition, advancement and transformation.
Looking ahead, UNF is moving into 2027 with a fresh new look and a continued commitment to technology, sustainability and change at the forefront of its approach to academic excellence. This invigorating brand refresh opens an exciting next chapter for UNF, where innovation will be powered by ideas, knowledge, and people.
