Other Graphic Identifiers
The University of Adelaide is richly endowed with many visual assets. Many
of these have become established as well-recognised symbols associated with the
University or aspects of the University in their own right. These visual icons
are specified graphic identifiers that may be incorporated as a specific element
in the corporate identity.

The University Lion
The balcony over the main (south) entry into Bonython Hall
features two carved lions, each supporting a coat of arms. One lion is supporting
the Bonython family coat of arms and is known as the Bonython Lion. The other
is a supporting the University's coat of arms and is known as the University
Lion. For many years, photographs of the University Lion have been used to convey
the University's position as one of the great old sandstone universities of the world.
The University Lion can be used as a watermark or outline graphic identifier
for the University as a whole. Artwork is available from the Marketing & Strategic
Communications Branch, from whom permission must be sought before the University
Lion may be used. |

The National Wine Centre Barrel Ribs
The Eastern entry into
the National
Wine Centre of Australia (part of the University of Adelaide) features a
wide sweeping ramp leading to it from the Hackney Road car park. This ramp includes
a lattice structure forming the outside radius facade of the ramp that takes
on the appearance of the ribs of a wine barrel. This distinctive architectural
feature has relevance in describing the purpose of the National Wine Centre
of Australia.
