Identity Emblem The coat of arms was designed in 1977 by architect Donaciano Blanco Flores, according to the historical background of the state of Tlaxcala.
The traditional colors of the state of Tlaxcala are red and white, which were used by Xicohténcatl in his banners. The Heron is the symbol of Xicohténcatl and of the state of Tlaxcala itself. The two arms, which emerge from the heron, represent the unity and effort of the people of Tlaxcala, which emanate from a book that represents technique and knowledge. Above the heron and the two arms is the state of Tlaxcala and, below them, the motto of the university "Por la Cultura, a la Justicia Social" (For Culture, for Social Justice). The whole emblem is crowned by the name of the Institution.
